But did you know that if you eat the right type of nuts, you could help bring your blood sugar level down while also losing weight? Nuts are packed with nutrients which is why they make for a great food choice for people with type 2 diabetes. They happen to be low in carbs and contain protein, fibre, healthy fats, and antioxidants. Here are a few nuts you could add to your diet.



Almonds: They can help control blood glucose levels and can also lower the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Apart from this, they help keep you feeling full for longer and are also great for digestion.



Walnuts: Walnuts tend to be high in calories but despite that, they help improve ratio of HDL to LDL cholesterol. They also help you feel full for longer and prevent unhealthy food cravings.



Peanuts: Proteins, fibre, good fats, and various essential nutrients all make up the composition of peanuts. They control blood sugar levels and can even curb appetite in obese people.



Cashews: Consuming cashews can not only increase good cholesterol levels in the body but can also lower blood pressure levels without affecting the weight of the person.
