Expert opinion from Momoko Takada

Avocados are a good food for people with high blood glucose levels because of their high fiber content, but one should not assume that consuming any one type of food will lower HbA1c. The HbA1c value represents the average level of blood glucose over a period of two to three months, so a habitual, not temporary, improvement in diet is necessary.
