Is the sugar content of figs small?

My mother has diabetes and can't eat too many sweets. I like to buy some figs at home, so does this fruit contain too much sugar?

    The glucose content that can be directly absorbed by the human body accounts for 34.3% (dry weight), fructose accounts for 31.2% (dry weight) and sucrose accounts for only 7.82% (dry weight). Therefore, the calorie is lower and it is called low-calorie food in Japan. Domestic medical research proves that it is a health food for weight loss. Figs contain polysaccharides, accounting for 6.49% (dry weight), mainly arabinose and galactose, which have a certain effect against aging.
