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!)Did you see this formal study?[URL unfurl="true"]https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23394992/#:~:text=On%20a%20whole%20fruit%20basis,suitable%20for%20those%20with%20diabetes.[/URL]"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.</blockquote>
