Raw watermelon cubes and PCOS: portions and evidence
Can I eat it?
Raw watermelon cubes can fit a varied PCOS-supportive diet. Watermelon contains plenty of water and some carbohydrate. A modest bowl can fit a balanced meal; its high GI alone does not describe the glucose effect of an ordinary portion.

GI and evidence limits
The published watermelon GI average is 76, based on carbohydrate-standardized testing rather than a typical bowl. Glycemic load also depends on carbohydrate quantity; PCOS-specific effects are uncertain.
