Does peanut butter lower blood sugar?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Peanuts can help control blood sugar in both healthy individuals and those with type 2 diabetes. Peanuts and peanut butter have even been shown to help lessen the spike in blood sugar when paired with high-carbohydrate or high-GL foods.

- It is low in carbohydrates and rich in healthy fats and protein, which can help manage blood sugar by slowing digestion and preventing spikes.
