Tag: Managing prediabetes

According to the CDC, over 80% of people with prediabetes in the United States don't know they have it. A diagnosis can be alarming, but it’s a critical wake-up call to manage blood sugar levels, and many wonder: can I still have sugar if I am prediabetic? The answer involves understanding the difference between added sugars and natural sugars and practicing moderation.

Studies have shown that consuming peanuts and peanut butter can significantly lower the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by as much as 21% when replacing certain foods. This suggests that for many individuals, incorporating peanut butter into a diet for managing prediabetes can be a beneficial and strategic choice.
