Yes, while it doesn't contain added sugar or chemical sweeteners, it has naturally occurring sugar from both the watermelon and lemon. It does have fiber, since the watermelon is not strained, and the lemon juice and pulp are squeezed directly into it.
I come from a family of Type 2, my sister and I deal with Type 1 or hypoglycemia, since we are both in our thirties those in charge say we're "too old" to have Type 1, yet the same issues are there. We've both dealt with issues since we were kids. We've all figured out how to have fruit and cane sugar without over doing it. Like this, instead of me drinking it I would squeeze the lemon over a bowl of watermelon chunks. The act of eating the watermelon slows down the absorption of the sugar since I'm not drinking it quickly. Also, research shows having protein with sugary fruits slows the absorption too since it takes longer to digest proteins, down side it since fruit digests quickly it sits in the acid and basically ferments with can cause stomachaches, or other gi issues.
I cringe at the on going fad of drinking a bowl of fruit, aka a "smoothie", for breakfast. Yes, it's natural, but if you wouldn't sit and eat the entire bowl in a matter of minutes, then don't pound it in liquid form. Ya, know?
This is more of a slow sipping summer drink, than outright drink. If that makes sense.
