Can diabetics have peanut butter?
I'm trying to add more protein to my breakfast. My friend suggested peanut butter on toast, but I have diabetes, so I'm not sure if it's okay for me.

Yes beta, you can definitely have peanut butter. Just look at the ingredients label carefully before buying. Make sure there is no added sugar or hydrogenated palm oil, it should only have peanuts and maybe a little salt.

I was reading about this yesterday and it seems unsweetened peanut butter has a low glycemic index and lots of healthy fats. It actually helps keep blood sugar stable. Has anyone here tried making it at home? Seems safer than store-bought.

Haan bhai, peanut butter chalega par dukan se lene se accha hai ghar pe hi thoda moongfali pees ke bana lo. Wo sabse shuddh hota hai aur usme koi bahaari chini nahi hoti. Khush rahiye aur apna khayal rakhiye.

I have been diabetic for five years and I use natural peanut butter regularly. I only have one tablespoon with a slice of whole grain bread. You have to be very careful with the portion size because it is high in calories.

I totally panicked when I was first diagnosed and stopped eating almost everything, including peanut butter. But my dietitian reassured me that pure, sugar-free peanut butter is actually great for stabilizing sugar levels. Don't worry, just check the brand ingredients.

We consult a specialist at Apollo and they told us that natural peanut butter is fine in moderation, but the high fat content can be an issue if you have cholesterol concerns. Please consult your doctor to see how it fits your specific medical profile.
