If you’re at increased risk for type 2 diabetes, nuts must appear frequently in your daily diet
Leslie Beck, a Toronto-based private practice dietitian, is Director of Food and Nutrition at Medcan.
The new research, published this month in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, was a review of data pooled from 40 randomized controlled trials that examined nut consumption on blood glucose control in 2,832 people with and without diabetes. Insulin resistance occurs when your cells become less sensitive to the blood-sugar-clearing effects of the hormone insulin. This signals your pancreas to produce more of the hormone, driving up insulin levels.
Pistachios and walnuts are a good source of alpha linolenic acid , an omega-3 fatty acid linked to protection from type 2 diabetes. To prevent adding excess calories to your diet, swap nuts for snacks such as granola bars, crackers, cookies and chips. Substitute nuts for granola as a topping on yogurt.
