Due to its high sugar content, rotab dates change the blood sugar balance in people with diabetes.

In diabetic patients, an increase in blood sugar for the amount of 10 grams of dates of the wet type, which has 5 grams of carbohydrates, is the same as a 5 grams of sugar cube, and therefore eating dates in a diabetic patient is not superior to eating sugar.

People with diabetes, people with metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, as well as people who are prone to herpes should avoid eating some dates.
