Blood sugar response after consuming oilseeds

The graph shows the progression of blood glucose levels in two groups over 120 minutes:

• Control group: Blood glucose levels rise rapidly, peaking around the 20th minute (approx. 160 mg/dL), then gradually decrease.
• Nuts and seeds group: Blood glucose levels rise more slowly, peaking around the 40th minute (approx. 145 mg/dL), and remain at a lower level compared to the control group.

Consumption of almonds, walnuts, and peanuts resulted in a slower and lower rise in blood glucose levels than in the control group.

This visualization clearly illustrates how the consumption of nuts and seeds moderates post-meal blood glucose fluctuations, which can be particularly beneficial for people with diabetes or insulin resistance.
