Type 2 diabetes is a chronic disease that develops as a result of impaired interaction of insulin with tissue cells. The condition can lead to serious complications if the blood sugar level is constantly high. To date, there is no cure for diabetes, but the main role in the fight against the disease is played by diet.

Scientists have already proven that certain foods can reduce the level of glucose in the body, which, as a rule, rises after eating. For example, in a new study, scientists found that almonds can significantly lower blood sugar.

100 New Zealanders participated in the experiment, who had to eat at least 42.5 g of raw almonds or sweet cookies Both snacks accounted for 10% of the total calorie intake.

On the day of the test, the participants ate a standard breakfast, and two hours later, nuts or cookies. Blood glucose levels were measured before a meal and then 15 or 30 minutes after a meal. As a result, it was established that blood sugar levels were significantly lower when volunteers ate almonds.
