Kimchi and Blood Glucose

I've started taking Kimchi (a form of fermented vegetables with lots of prebiotics) since last Friday. I take around 100g - 130g a day and my BGs seem to be going down although it's far too early to draw conclusions as to how strong the correlation is between Kimchi and the effect it may have on my blood glucose.

Has anyone else taken Kimchi and if so has it had any significant effect on their bgs?
 
Not all kimchis are as good as each other. I don't see a direct relation to my bg (except they don't raise it), but do eat them to try increase the variety of my gut microbiome.
Rather than small jars (which may have been pasturised) I try to get the really big bags from Asian supermarkets fridge sections or local farmers markets
