Possibly because peanuts are legumes and not nuts? Just a thought..I really don't know why but I have always found that if I eat salted peanuts with a similar carb content to any other snack my bg goes up more than I would expect .
I see the same thing with all beans and peas - roughly 180 percent of the expected rise, and a couple of others have mentioned the same thing happens to them. I suspect a subset of Humans who can digest them better than the average.I really don't know why but I have always found that if I eat salted peanuts with a similar carb content to any other snack my bg goes up more than I would expect .
