Does mango have some amount of unhealthy sugar?

Too much sugar is unhealthy.... too much of [b]anything[/b] is unhealthy, even water

Though, natural sugars in fruit are inherently much healthier than processed sugar.

@caPnAhab I have to carry lucozade with me wherever I go. In college my teacher has placed dextrose tablets in various places. And the teachers and technicians know if I ask for them I am hypo. And they are so good to me. They give me quarter of an hour and then they come by pretending to be looking for something else and say "you alright?"
I know they're just checking up on me!

@Blodyn ah that's so good of them!

@caPnAhab I know. It's my last year in college! I have been well looked after.

I don't think sugar in itself is unhealthy. Just the way we eat. I am type 1 diabetic. I often have hypos. My blood glucose goes too low. And I need fast carbs. That means lucozade. Very unhealthy as a habit, but needed at the time.
In my country we can't buy mango but it's in orange and mango squash which I love.
In short, the important thing is to have a balanced diet. If we avoided everything they tell us is unhealthy, we wouldn't have anything left to eat!

It’s natural sugar though, not processed. But you still wouldn’t want to eat too many

@Jenny1234 We don't have mangoes for sale. It's one of those tropical fruits. We have pineapples from Costa Rica and asparagus from Peru. I think of the carbon footprint. Maybe I shouldn't buy.

Every fruit has sugar that if consumed on a high level could be unhealthy.

refined sugars are the unhealthy ones. But if you’re diabetic or something, mangoes are still very high in sugar content.

@DoubleRings Thank you. I had no idea. Sometimes I get fed up with having to drink lucozade to get me out of a hypo. I hate fizzy drinks.
I don't care , I like mango.

Every fruit has sugar. Sugar is only unhealthy if consumed in high amounts and especially when the sugar is refinded and eaten devoid of nutrients and or fiber which slows absorbtion.
So in other words your question dosen't make any sense from a medical point of view.
All sugar is sugar. Eating sugar in fruit is healthier than eating a bowl of cereal or a slice of bread because fruit has fiber and nutrients.

No. Only if you eat an excessive amount.
