Type 2 and nuts

What effect will Cashew and Walnuts have on blood glucose readings. Also Valerian as a sleep assist?

Cashews are legumes, not nuts, and are higher carb. Walnuts are excellent and should not have much effect at all. I do not know anything about valerian. Welcome to the forum.

Buy Australian Macadamia nuts as they are better for you.

I eat macadamia and a few of my own roasted Cajun pumpkin seeds if I need a snack but I keep portions small

Valerian and melatonin always raised me. Now it's a small glass of red wine or a chilled shot of spirits. Works much better for me.

I eat a lot of walnuts. They are a good source of omega3, so good for the brain.

Walnuts, a couple of brazil nuts and almonds both whole and ground work well for me.

I stick to walnuts, brazil nuts and almonds as they are low carb - but I need to ration them or the whole bag is gone very quickly.
