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.

We Need Your Input

We Need Your Input By Jonathan Streeter People are at the heart of everything we do and we want your input as we develop our Operating and Capital Budgets for Fiscal Years 2021 and 2022.  Every other year, San Francisco’s many agencies and departments must adopt a budget covering the coming two fiscal years by the end of April.
