Blood-sugar impact of Fig
Most of the carbs here are simple sugars with little fiber to slow absorption — expect a relatively fast blood-sugar rise. Pair with protein or healthy fat to blunt the spike.
With 9.6g total carbs and 1.4g fiber, the net-carb figure for a 1 medium (50g) serving works out to roughly 8.2g — this is the number most keto and low-carb tracking apps use. If you're managing type 2 diabetes, pre-diabetes or reactive hypoglycemia, use total carbs for insulin dosing calculations and treat net carbs as a rough guide for meal planning.
