Blood sugar response after consuming oilseeds

The graph shows the development of blood sugar levels in two groups over 120 minutes:

• Control group: Blood sugar levels rise rapidly, peaking around 20 minutes (about 160 mg/dL), and then gradually decrease.
• Oilseed group: Blood sugar levels rise more slowly, peaking around 40 minutes (about 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 sugar levels than in the control group.

This visualization illustrates how consuming oilseeds reduces post-meal blood sugar fluctuations, which may be particularly beneficial for people with diabetes or insulin resistance.
