Kiwifruit may help manage blood sugar levels and provide nutrients. Clinical trials showed: 1) Eating kiwifruit with or before carbohydrates reduced blood sugar spikes compared to carbohydrates alone. 2) Partially substituting kiwifruit for starchy foods like bread or rice lowered the overall rise in blood sugar. 3) Kiwifruit exchanges in meals did not increase hunger and provided vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Next steps are longer trials examining kiwifruit's effects on diabetes risks, metabolism, and cardiovascular health.
