Does peanut butter lower your blood sugar?

Doctor 1

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Peanut is low glycemic index if it does not contain added sugar or fat. It is high in calories, hence should be taken in moderation.

  1. Peanut Butter and Blood Sugar:

    • Peanut butter does not directly lower blood sugar levels.
    • It contains healthy fats, protein, and fiber, which can help stabilize blood sugar by slowing sugar absorption.
  2. Dietary Recommendations:

    • Incorporate peanut butter in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
    • Opt for natural peanut butter without added sugars or hydrogenated oils.
  3. General Advice:

    • For a 50-year-old woman, especially if managing blood sugar, consult a healthcare provider or dietitian for personalized advice.

I'm a bit worried about my current ovulation induction cycle. Last time, my follicles grew just fine and reached 19mm, but now my dominant follicle went from 14mm down to 12mm. Is it normal for follicle size to decrease in a cycle? What's causing this to happen?

Yes, it is possible for follicle size to reduce in certain cycles. This can happen due to factors like hormonal fluctuations, poor response to stimulation, or changes in the body's environment.
