    Watermelon contains about 5% of sugars, and it is mainly glucose, sucrose and some fructose, which means that blood sugar will increase after eating watermelon. Since normal people secrete insulin in time, blood sugar and urine sugar can be maintained at normal levels. Diabetes is different. If you eat too much watermelon in a short period of time, not only will your blood sugar rise, but the more serious one may also suffer from acidosis due to metabolic disorders and even life-threatening.
