AB  - People with pre-diabetes may be reluctant to add fruit to their diets due to concerns around sugars. Our objective was to measure outcomes associated with potential adverse effects of ingesting fruit sugars while assessing metabolic benefits from eating nutrient-rich kiwifruit. Thirty-four people with pre-diabetes were randomized to receive two kiwifruit or 250 mL bottled water per day for 12-weeks; two people withdrew. The primary outcomes were between-group differences for glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) and plasma vitamin C concentration. Secondary outcomes included anthropometry, blood pressure, lipids, uric acid, glycaemic-, inflammatory- and oxidative-markers. Mean (95% confidence interval) vitamin C intake and plasma concentration increased by 170 (141, 200) mg/d (P
