As it is with all food as a diabetic it all depends on your sugar level. You can eat all fruit as long as your levels are ok.

serving size 154 grams

sugar 10 grams
While watermelon isn't necessarily one of the more healthy members of the fruit/veg. groups, it can be consumed in moderation.

Diabetics can eat watermelon in small amounts, just like any fruit. And fruits are a good dessert choice since they have less concentrated sugars than many other desserts. However, watermelons do have more sugar in them than many other fruits and even more than other melons. One of the better types of fruits for diabetics is berries. They are among the lowest Glycemic Index fruits.

Yes, people with Diabetes can eat any fruit, including pineapple. All fruit is considered carbohydrate and the amount eaten will effect blood sugar. People taking some statin drugs (example: Lipitor) are advised to avoid pineapple while taking this medication.
