Cranberry has a low glycemic index of 45 (typical range 40 to 52). A serving of 1 cup, chopped (110 g) has a glycemic load of 4, which is low. Per 100 g it provides 46 calories, 0.5 g protein, 12 g carbohydrate (3.6 g fiber, 4.3 g sugars) and 0.1 g fat.
Serving used for glycemic load: 1 cup, chopped (110 g).

Cranberry has a glycemic index of 45, which is low (low is 55 or under, high is 70 or over). The glycemic load of a 1 cup, chopped (110 g) serving is 4, which is low.
Glycemic load is the better guide, because it accounts for portion size. A serving of cranberry has a glycemic load of 4 (low). Eating it with protein, fat or fiber slows absorption further. This is general information, not medical advice; people with diabetes should follow their clinician's guidance.
Cranberry has 46 calories per 100 g, and about 51 calories in a 1 cup, chopped (110 g) serving.
Cranberry is NOVA group 1: unprocessed or minimally processed.

Open the free web appGlycemic index: NutriOptio's reference table, compiled from the University of Sydney GI database and the international tables of glycemic index and glycemic load; the range reflects variation across studies, ripeness and preparation. Nutrition: USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy, “Cranberries, raw” (FDC 171722). Glycemic load = GI × available carbohydrate (carbohydrate minus fiber) per serving ÷ 100. Nutri-Score computed with the 2017 general-food algorithm. NOVA group 1 follows from the NOVA definition: a whole food, only cleaned, dried or cooked.
