Is kiwi fruit bad for diabetics?

I've been diabetic since college and I eat kiwi all the time. It never spikes my sugar levels. It's a great low-carb snack, so you can definitely go for it.

I know how exhausting it feels to constantly second-guess every single bite of food you take. It feels like a battle. But you can relax with kiwi; it is low in sugar and high in fiber, making it very safe for us.

Kiwi is generally fine, but everyone's body reacts differently to natural sugars. I once had a major sugar spike from eating too many 'safe' fruits and ended up in the clinic. Please check your blood sugar before and after eating it to be safe.

The dietitians at Apollo Hospital told me that kiwi is an excellent choice for diabetic patients because of its high fiber. However, you should still consult your own doctor to find out exactly how many grams of fruit fit into your personalized daily meal plan.

I agree, kiwi is very safe for diabetes; just stick to eating one fruit at a time.

Kiwi has a glycemic index of around 48, which is considered low and safe for diabetic individuals. While it is nutritional, your overall daily glycemic load matters most. It is best to discuss your fruit portions with your diabetologist.
