A member asked:

I have recently been diagnosed with diabetes(no insulin, but 2 pills/per day/ for control of glucose) is there a food i can eat with almond butter?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Almond butter is considered a good food for diabetics as it tends not to raise blood sugar, increases the effects of insulin,is high in protein& good fat. However, bear in mind that one tablespoon contains 98 calories. I'm not sure what foods you would eat with almond butter other than spreading it on toast or adding it to cereal.
