    Yes! Grapes contain carbohydrate, as all fruits do, and carbs raise blood sugar, but the red skins on grapes have other great heart-healthy benefits, just like red wine does. Just be sure you watch portion size and test your blood sugar after eating. Also, combine them with a protein food like cheese to help moderate the impact on your blood glucose levels.
