Howdy John,

No need to be dissapointed, just eat what works for you and where you
like to keep your bg.  I like them myself and eat them when their
cheap (hell I'm cheap what can I say?).

But the warnings on the fruit are valid ones as would any food info
for people that might have a problem or taking meds that might be
effected by eating a lot of it.

That sentence about diabetics having to avoid carambola seemed suspect
to me... kinda general and not qualified. So I looked up carambola in
the USDA nutrient database. According to them, one large carambola
(124 g) has 8.35 g of carb, 3.5 of which are fiber. That doesn't seem
so bad to me.

When I was growing up in Florida, we had a carambola tree in our back
yard, and it bore fruit twice a year. We enjoyed them quite a bit.
