I know that watermelons contain a high amount of sugar, however, its natural sugar, not the kind of sugar in candy. And I have also heard that it does increase your sugar level if too much is consumed. I suggest calling your physician or a nutritionist to get a more professional answer.

Water melon is okay because its not that sweet but about 1 -2 cupfuls is as far as you should go.

I would ask the doctor everyone's body different.Maybe if the person eats the watermelon you can test the level after and see if it gets to high.
