I often eat Kiwi as it is small and easy to cut and eat. There are two varieties. They not only have Carbo they also have free sugar. I am skeptical of eating either. I hope to read some of your views.

I'm fairly certain that the bird Kiwi will have less carbs than the fruit version.
The fruit Kiwi I have chopped into my full fat yoghurt, not a massive amount of carbs in one fruit and the fat in the yoghurt helps even out any rise
Hi folks. I'm a Kiwi. As in a person from Kiwiland, collectively named Kiwis . The fruit are called kiwi fruit. Absolutely with the 'fruit' to differentiate between the people, the birds, and the fruit. And, the birds are collectively called - kiwi. No 's', as it is a Maori word and Maori uses same word-form for singular and plural.

Oh yes! @mysorian. The actual question! Yes - I find kiwi fruit to be too high in carbs for me, and my meter. I have one, once a year, on top of the traditional Xmas pav, along with strawberries. As I make it for my family, or, I should say - decorate it, I have a few slices of the delicious green , or gold, fruit, while preparing it.
I don't measure my BG on such Xmas/Xmas food prep days as I know what my meter will say! (Ouch!)
An appreciable proportion, about 10%, of the dry weight of kiwifruit consists of primary cell walls. About 80% of dry matter is available carbohydrate consisting of glucose, fructose, and sucrose, and about 10% is digestible protein. The cell wall component, being nonstarch polysaccharide, is...

"On a whole fruit basis because of the high water content of kiwifruit, a 100g kiwifruit would be equivalent to about 5g (1 teaspoon) of glucose in its effect on blood glucose; thus, kiwifruit have low glycemic impact and are suitable for those with diabetes."
This, alas, does not ring true for me. Berries especially more than some, is pushing it, even, for me, sadly. But yeah - the only way to see how it is with you is to eat one and check it out on your meter.
