How can diabetics benefit from consuming cashews?

Moderate sugar spike

Because cashews contain balanced nutrients, eating 75g of them results in just a moderate rise in blood sugar levels.

Low carbs

With 3g of fibre and roughly 20g of carbohydrates per 75g, cashews have a low carbohydrate density of 17g.

High in fat and protein

They have 34g of fat and 14g of protein, which slow down digestion and help control blood sugar levels.

Healthy fats

Rich in oleic acid, a substance that reduces inflammation and is good for metabolic health, cashew fats are a good source of fat.

Magnesium support

Cashews include magnesium, which helps control blood sugar and enhances insulin sensitivity.

Watch portion sizes

Low GI value

With a low glycaemic index of 22, cashews raise blood sugar levels gradually.
