Peanuts

Has anyone found peanuts lower bg figures?
I have found having them with a high carb meal helps control a spike.

I wonder if this is the effect of the high fat content slowing down the release of the carbs

If you look up information about GI, you'll see that eating together hi and low GI food lowers the GI of the higher product. Peanuts are low GI so yes, they will lower the absorption rate.

Won't that increase your fat intake and cause weight gain if you're prone?

I find that not eating a high carb meal helps even more?
