A 'nutty' solution to type 2 diabetes management
I use ground almonds as the basis for b'fast porridge & instead of flour to make a "muffin" I use instead of bread/cake/potato. & nuts as snacks.
"Mixed, unsalted, raw, or dry-roasted nuts have benefits for both blood glucose control and blood lipids and may be used as part of a strategy to improve diabetes control without weight gain," said Dr. Jenkins, who also has appointments with St. Michael's Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism and the U of T's Department of Medicine. He also serves as Canada Research Chair in Nutrition and Metabolism.
