🍈 Kiwi and Diabetes: A Sweet Treat That’s Blood Sugar Friendly!
Did you know that kiwi fruit can be a smart choice for people managing blood sugar? Here’s why:
✅ Low Glycemic Index (GI): Kiwi has a GI around 48–52, meaning it causes a slow, steady rise in blood sugar instead of a big spike.
✅ Packed with Fiber: The fiber in kiwi slows down sugar absorption, helping keep blood sugar levels more stable—especially if you enjoy it with protein or healthy fats like yogurt or nuts.
✅ Supports Metabolic Health: Studies show that adding kiwi to meals can reduce post-meal blood sugar spikes by up to 30%.
Quick Tip:
- Stick to one kiwi (about 100g) as a serving.
- Choose fresh whole kiwi over juice or dried kiwi to keep all that helpful fiber.
- If you’re adventurous, you can even eat the skin (especially on golden kiwi) for extra fiber!
Bottom line: Kiwi is a delicious, diabetes-friendly fruit when eaten in moderation. It’s a simple way to add natural sweetness without sending your blood sugar soaring.
