Eating almonds before meals may improve blood sugar in prediabetics

Yes, there is some evidence to suggest that eating almonds before meals may improve blood sugar control in individuals with prediabetes.

One study published in the Journal of Nutrition and Metabolism found that consuming 1.5 ounces of almonds (which is about a handful) before a meal improved postprandial glycemic control in adults with prediabetes. The study participants who consumed almonds had significantly lower blood sugar levels after the meal compared to those who did not consume almonds.

Another study published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition also found that consuming almonds before a high-carbohydrate meal improved postprandial glycemic control in healthy individuals.

Almonds are a good source of fiber, protein, and healthy fats, all of which can help regulate blood sugar levels. They also have a low glycemic index, which means they are less likely to cause a rapid spike in blood sugar levels.

However, it's important to note that while eating almonds before meals may help it's not a substitute for other lifestyle changes recommended for managing prediabetes, such as regular exercise and a healthy diet.

One of our city’s most revered politicians, Milk's legacy as the first openly gay San Francisco supervisor and elected official in California helped in breaking down discriminatory barriers and usher LGBTQ+ politicians in government positions.

Green, General Manager of the Municipal Railway promoting Muni’s “Fast Pass”. Mr. Green was a barrier-breaking figure in his own right, by becoming the first African American appointed to Muni's top position from his beginnings with the Agency as a bus operator. With his 1974 appointment, Green also became the first African American to ...

By The Numbers: The SFMTA’s COVID-19 Response

By The Numbers: The SFMTA’s COVID-19 Response By Erica Kato The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about unforeseen c hanges to San Francisco’s transportation network. And the impact of the crisis will continue to be felt city-wide long beyond the end of the public health emergency. On March 13, 2020, when it became clear that San Francisco needed immediate adjustments to the transportation system, Director of Transportation Jeff Tumlin launched SFMTA’s Department Operations Center (DOC) team. Since then, the DOC has served as a centralized hub to ensure that we are minimizing health risks to employees and the public as we keep transportation running, both by coordinating internally within the agency and by collaborating closely with our city, state, and federal partners to deploy resources and information in the most effective way possible. San Francisco's response to the COVID-19 pandemic included implementing temporary emergency transit lanes  Our COVID-19 response has chal...
