Are mixed nuts good for diabetics?

My doctor advised me to include more healthy snacks in my diet for diabetes management. I was wondering if mixed nuts, like almonds, walnuts, and cashews, are good for diabetics.

I worry so much about what to give my diabetic father. Mixed nuts are generally good because they have healthy fats, but some packets have raisins or sugar coatings. Please check the label very carefully before buying, as even a little hidden sugar can cause a spike.

Yes, plain unsalted mixed nuts like almonds and walnuts are excellent for diabetes. They help keep you full and don't raise blood sugar levels quickly. Just keep the portion size to a small handful.

Haan bilkul, mixed nuts toh bohot badhiya option hain snacks ke liye na. Bus dhyan rakhna ki woh salted ya fried na ho. Plain almonds, walnuts aur thoda pista khao, sugar control mein rahegi aur energy bhi milegi.

Honestly, keeping a small box of almonds and walnuts at your office desk is a lifesaver. It stops you from ordering samosas when you are busy. But limit the quantity, as nuts are high in calories and can lead to weight gain if you eat them mindlessly.

I was just reading about this online! Apparently, the fiber and healthy fats in nuts actually help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates. It seems like a much better snack than biscuits or namkeen for diabetics.

Beta, soaking almonds and walnuts overnight is our traditional way, and it makes them much easier to digest. Avoid cashew nuts in large quantities if you have high sugar. A small handful of soaked nuts in the morning is very good for health.
