10 Foods That Lower Blood Sugar
Food #7: Almonds and Other Nuts
Nuts are a great snack that are also great for diabetics. Almonds can help regulate and reduce rises in blood sugar after meals and prevent diabetes. One study found people who consumed 2 ounces of almonds per day had lower levels of fasting glucose and insulin. Another study found that almond consumption could increase insulin sensitivity in people with prediabetes.
The GI score for almonds is estimated to be 0. This is because the small amount of carbohydrates found in almonds and other nuts is primarily fiber. Due to their high fiber content, nuts will increase satiety, help with digestion, and slow the absorption of food. Adding nuts to your dietary routine is a must!
