Eating seasonal produce is one of the best ways to nourish our bodies with fresh, nutrient-rich foods. And right now, grapes are in season, making them a delicious and refreshing treat—especially on hot, sunny days!  
These tiny, juicy fruits are a powerhouse of antioxidants  like resveratrol  and vitamin C, helping to boost immunity and fight oxidative stress. They are also rich in  essential minerals like potassium and copper, which play a vital role in heart health and overall well-being.  
Glycemic Index of Grapes – A Safe Choice for Diabetics?
The Glycemic Index (GI) is a scale that ranks carbohydrates based on how quickly they raise blood sugar levels. Foods are classified as:  
Low GI (55 or less) – Slow digestion and gradual rise in blood sugar  
Medium GI (56-69)– Moderate impact on blood sugar  
High GI (70 or more)– Rapid spike in blood sugar  
How to Eat Grapes Safely as a Diabetic?  
1.If you have diabetes, maintain a regular exercise routine, keep your HbA1c levels in check, and have minimal co-morbidities, you can enjoy a moderate portion of grapes.  
2. It's best to consume grapes on their own rather than with a meal or mixed with other fruits. To minimize blood sugar spikes, consider pairing them with a handful of nuts.  
3. Eating grapes before a workout can be a great way to fuel your body.
