Eating a handful of almonds, cashews and walnuts every day stabilises blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes, new research suggests.
Just 75g of mixed, unsalted nuts significantly improves patients’ blood sugar control, a Canadian study found.
The snack also reduces so-called ‘bad’ cholesterol and lowers levels of a protein associated with heart disease, known as Apo-B, the research adds.
