Wow Dr. Joe, you are one fast eater (LOL). I really appreciate this video because a bowl of watermelon with blueberries is one of my favorite snacks. I also juice the watermelon with the rind included. Very refreshing drink. I look forward to your next video. Have a great day!

Doc I just love you, you calmed the fair in people lives please continue to help your people that’s what God want us to do is to help each other ❤❤

Thanks, enjoyed the video as always!🍉Really like these experiments♥️

Informative💯👍🏽 Thank you so much Dr Joe for another interesting video✨✅

Well I know we all are a bit different when it comes to certain foods and such and if you feel up for it, yes content like this is very helpful. Love watermelon.

That was an interesting video 👍🏻the thing you do for your viewers is amazing, thank you sooo much 🙏🏼good night Dr continued blessings ♥️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I enjoyed this video. Thank you for sharing

Thanks for blessing humanity

You are the best Dr. Joe. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing this 🙏 ❤️

Good day Dr Joe thanks for sharing the video it's very useful and informative 👍🏾 👌 👏

Thank you Dr Joe for the informative video. Most of all thank you for the explanation regarding glycaemic index and glycaemic load and for the explanation you gave to someone else in the comments below regarding how the sugar spikes in the first hour and how it's supposed to get lower after 2hrs. This information is very useful because it's lacking, no body ever explained that to me. It would be interesting to have a video from you in the future with more information on glycaemic index and load and how to interpret the nutritional information labels in food, in the sense of what the numbers listed as carbohydrates and of which sugars really mean, because even these are confusing since most of the foods which should be ok to eat still have a high dose of sugars in them. Thank you.

Thanks always Dr.Joe.You’re the best!

That was great!👍🏾 I'm not scared of fruits. There's always talk about fructose compared to regular sugar. It's obvious the body processes both, differently. Try this with the feared bananas! Is my suggestion.😁

Watermelon is considered a super-food, especially for men.

I have been avoiding watermelon for years. This is good to know. Thanks 😋

That was a very interesting experiment!

❤🎉 I'm a Pettit woman and I've eaten a half! Love watermelon. 🍉 ❤

I love watermelons. I could eat a whole watermelon per day.

Excellent video thanks Dr Jo, l love watermelon

Oh wow! That’s amazing

Have just learned something new. Thank you Dr. Joe. Should the test after be one hour or two because my Dr. recommend 2hours after meal

Great information

Thanks for the education.

Thank you dr Joe for putting your self at risk just to show us I do appreciate God continue to bless you 🙏

Thanks Dr Joe lovely sweet watermelon to try on a hot day.

Nice experiment! 71 T2D here always eat half watermelon with grapefruit; it raises my sugar a lot but it tapers down quickly.

Happy Saturday, Dr. Joe! I knew grapes had a high glycemic index but didn't think of the glycemic index of watermelon -- thanks!

Thank you for helping us so much

Great video as always Dr. Thank you. I love watermelon but I add a little salt to it. In that case there’s a balance. I learnt that from an old midwife years ago. 🙌

Thanks Dr. Joe for clearing the air. Too many misconceptions in the internet space.

Learned something new

O yes, i got some value thank you very much

Excellent 😊

Hi Doc! Thanks for this video. I always loved water melon & do eat & enjoy it. Always distrusted those influencers who scare you away with all-fruits-are-bad viewpoints!. I have just ignored all that, I mean nature did not make such delicious fruits to be afraid of them! Keep going.

Thank you Dr. You didn’t mention if it was fasting test you did.

Thank you so much Sir ❤🎉

My doctor told me to measure my blood sugar 2hours after I eat…not one hour,,,,if I measure after 2 hours it is always higher than when I measure after one hour…talk alittle bit about this difference

Waoooh thank you for this value experiment. I was afraid about water melon taking too much

well on wednesday it was 32 degrees Celsius and forthe the day i ate a whole watermelon it was hot and humid and i work outside and that was all i ate for the day , i felt very refreshed

That looked like watermelon heaven. I was fulljoying watermelon with the seeds in the middle of the pandemic while in sunny Gambia in West Africa. It was like food and drink at one time. You have let my mind go back to a pleasant time, being stranded in the sunshine, going to the beach going on long walks and generally feeling alive. I must get me a watermelon next time i visit the market.

Doctor:Joe , if you don't mind sharing the brand of the blood test reader you used and where I can buy one. .Also, thank you for the information you share here .

Thanks doctor, I love watermelon and just purchased one today and it's delicious, with seeds.

because you are healthy it will not affect you, your body process it properly, I am prediabetic, and if i eat it my body will not process it properly.

Thanks for sharing..

Thanks, Doctor Joe. I juice mine with lemon, and it's a good slush

I enjoyed the experiment. I know that I for one as a watermelon lover can consume plenty watermelon in one sitting.

Thank you for sharing. I will check your 8 videos from last year to get free of type 2. I want to break free from insulin resistance.

I was just diagnosed in February. My doctor told me that it was ok to eat watermelon because of the water content. He told me to watch out for peaches and grapes. I also experiment with foods because I like to know how certain foods will affect my glucose. That's the only way you'll learn how to decrease and control your A1C.

Actually, you fo not eat any other food with it. Also, your FBS level is in the 70s abg 72. Plus you control sugar level. Excellent. You are doing good job. Thanks.

Thanks, because I really love watermelon

As we should know it's not glycemic index that matters, it's glycemic load. I started eating watermelon a few days ago for the first time in many years. One of the greatest inventions that doesn't get the credit it deserves IMO is seedless watermelon. Doctor, you could go in the Guinness Book of World Records as the World's fastest watermelon eater. 😄

Thank you ,good news

That is my favourite fruit. I eat it addictively when it’s in season.

I would never eat such a great quantity of watermelon, or of any fruit! Moderation! I know this is a test run, but it would be interesting to see how much small portions of fruit can do!

I purchased a mini watermelon this wee I have half , my blood sugar was up less than 10 points. So I purchased another, I will do more test. Dr Joe, may you can get a CGM for test like these.

I love watermelon. Dr joe does soluble fiber need to be viscous in order to turn into a gel once digested? For instance , would carrots , broccoli and tomatoes turn into a gel once digested? Thanks and salute from Argentina

I just stumbled on your website. It seems that your blood sugar is normal at 72. My Ac1 is 5.5 and I don’t think I will test any fruit for now. Thanks for testing

I cup is good low glycemic load maintained. Good grief that a Ton. of watermelon 😅. You are truly blessed. My glucose level below 105 and I'm dizzy ill and at 72 I'm about to pass out. I have one in the fridge.

Wow this is excellent..But Doctor is this breakfast/meal?and are u on medication sir?

Wow, blood sugar was 4? Were you fasting before you ate the watermelon? Thanks for sharing 👍

Dr. Joe, thank you for the watermelon test I am a type 2 diabetic and I love watermelon, i usually eat 2 slices every other week. Is that ok?

Hi Doctor, please is it possible to measure the blood sugar without punching the skin? Thanks a lot for your wonderful videos.

Dr Joe when do we add back fruit during your 6 week plan...ive watched all 6 videos .

Hey Dr could you please talk about seborrheic dermatitis on scalp

Perfect

This text is about "Dr ,Joe" a person who ate watermelon and had blood sugar levels of 90. It would have been better if he compared his blood sugar levels after eating both watermelon and bread to gain a better understanding of how these foods affect their blood sugar levels.

Do these experiments wearing a CGM so the results are available in real time.

I saw this experiment using a much larger watermelon in the United States and a two hour period. There was a very slight rise until the one hour 45 minute mark and then a sharp spike up to 42 and then right back down to 0. The spike lasted about ten minutes. Nothing else was consumed. Note: The watermelon in the United Kingdom is much different than a watermelon I would buy in the United States, unless I drive up and get an Amish grown watermelon. !

I love watermelon and could easily eat that much. But then I would be getting up alot to get rid of all that fluid.

I was watching a French Scientist named Jessica Inschaupe who recommends eating salads first, followed by fats, then proteins, then fruit like watermelon last. She insists that the salads, followed by the fats and proteins, limits the blood glucose spike. Anyway, an interesting experiment here Dr. Joe. I love watermelon!

One of my favourites and to make it more somtimes I sprinkle lemon juice on it....just for the fun of it. I have no clue of any added value nutritionally.

No. We didn't expect your blood sugar to go crazy high. Your insulin response was in play to keep your "blood sugar" levels within a normal range of 70 ~ 99 mg/dl. What was this demostration suppose to show and or indicate? Eating watermelon will not "wreck [your] blood sugar." ...remember, your pancreas and insulin will do it's job.

Which lood glucose monitor doo you use dr joe?

Watermelon also has fiber in addition to the water.

It would be very interesting to see what your reading would be two hours after eating the watermelon. Most doctors would suggest 2 hours after eating. What is your take on this?

Dr. Joe: When I was diagnosed as “edging” towards being pre-diabetic in January 2023, by my new PCP after being informed by my “previous” PCP of a blood test I had in October of 2022 (before the holidays) I told my new PCP, “Before you prescribe any medication for this condition let me see what I can do for myself on my own!” 😜👍 When I came back for my followup my blood sugar was 2.X and he told me that I was no longer edging towards being pre diabetic and I could eat wha I wanted: when I’d seen my new PCP with my alarming prognosis I immediately cut out sugar, started drinking black coffee, stopped eating white breads, seriously reducing my sugar intake. Much to my surprise I’ve lost 17 pounds since June 2023 up until now! 😂 I was told to cut out of specific foods in my diet that were high in sugar of which bananas and grapes were the first two identified along with watermelon, drinking unsweetened lemon water, etc. When I had another followup four weeks later I was told my blood sugar had risen maintaining the same behavior which didn’t;t make sense to me and that I should get a glucose monitor: that was it and nothing else! 😳 I’d seen an advertisement about a sensor wearing monitor that didn’t require finger pricks which was more was more appealing to me being a bassist having my PCP write me a prescription for the local pharmacy. Unbelievably, I was denied the apparatus due to not being diabetic! What kind of insanity was this that I couldn’t prevent the disease by acquiring the necessary implements to ward off its advance which doesn’t make any logical sense at all??? 😱 Conversely, I’ve learned a great deal about the food (SAD), medical, and pharmaceutical industries in particular over the past year and we the unknowing public are in grave danger! They’re shortening our lifespans by weaponizing these industries to achieve DEPOPULATION and I’m now hearing physicians speaking out about this diabolical agenda corroborating my perspectives! 🤬 There is so much medical ambiguity being imparted to the SHEEPLE you don’t know who to believe: I just recently resumed eating watermelon due to it now being promoted as a healthy diet choice which is why I’m viewing your video. I vet everything for clarity fortunately for me and have caught doctors deliberately lying to me which I’ve come to understand is nothing new: which is why I’ve changed doctors for lack of trust! 😖 So, what’s your verdict: is watermelon a healthy food choice? I also subscribe to Insulin 1, Dr. Bobby Pierce, Dr. Boz, Dr. Greg Berg, Dr. Robert Iriq, and many others for comparison: not being medically trained nor a mathematician the task is daunting! I’ll assume the message here is pretty much like what we all should do without putting too much thought into it: moderation moderation moderation is the word of the day! 😜👍 QUESTION EVERYTHING: What Is The Truth (WITT)??? 🧐 GYHOOYA: OYE!!! 😇

You should check again at 2 hours

That's good to know. I like watermelon so much I ate 4 in 5 wks...Mmm, and mine were almost twice as large as your melon. Makes for a lot of heavy garbage, but with a dumpster nearby it works out great.

❤thanks

Hi Dr Joe. This is unrelated but I got blood work done yesterday and it came back with my white blood cells at 13. What can I do to get them back in normal range please?

Dr. Joe, which country do you live? I’m curious because of your blood sugar machine unit.

I eat watermelon all the time that’s the best fruit that you wanna eat of course you have other good fruit too but that watermelon is excellent

I always eat half

Hi Dr Joe, I was just wondering , because you don’t have diabetes, your sugar level rose by only 1 degree, but if a diabetic person with insulin resistance, and whose blood sugar level would already be higher than yours, ate that much, or half of what you ate, then would their blood sugar level have spiked more?

Good experiment. Too much wrong info on the internet

We do not usually eat so much watermelon at a time.

You should check after 2 hours please

I EAT WATERMELON EVERYDAY WHEN IN SEASON ...EVERYYYYYYY DAY I LOVEEEE WATERMELON 🍉

Good

My wife drinks a quart of watermelon juice a day plus a caffeinated tea and sometimes coffee and a glass of water. She's up every two hours while sleeping going the bathroom.

What kind of glucose meter are you using, that your glucose is 4 🥰

Eating the water melon with all the fiber and water, actually reduces the impact of glucose levels. If one were to comsume just the juice, it will read like white bread does. Be well good doctor.

Does the measurement include Fructose or only Glucose.

I use 2500 mg of Inositol before eating high sugar and carbs

Watermelon is a fruit and fructose goes to liver, doesn’t stay in blood. Could this be a factor?

the small round ones have very low nutritional value . the big watermelon with he black seeds are sweeter and have vitamins

Thanks doc. What about bananas? Is it ok for a diabetic to eat one banana daily? My mom loves bananas

I eat a half of a Watermelon all the time Dr. You know nothing what people too My neighbor drinks 40 cans of Beer a day at Carlson Tucker
