They have no discernable effect on BG for me, large or small. I've never eaten more than one at any meal

I eat half of a medium avocado and I don't get a spike from it. It's good.

I eat a whole one a day and it has no affect. Very low carb.

@thaddydv I started a thread about avocados a couple of years ago, plenty of comments re avo's in it.

They are simply a low carb food but also oily. I eat them maybe once a week as part of a lower carb higher fat diet.

@thaddydv I think it is the worlds longest thread.

For me they're an essential part of my LCHF diet in that together with olives they are an excellent source of low carb plant based oils - as such I don't expect them to have any real impact on my glucose levels. I eat them regularly, often use avocado oil in salads or occasionally for cooking, and have recently discovered avocado based mayonnaise.

I eat them on occasion so far they have not affected my BG adversely I also use avocado oil for cooking sometimes.
