Pistachios Help Regulate Blood Sugar in Prediabetes

The new study indicates that to regulate blood sugar levels at night and in the early morning, people with prediabetes are advised to consume a light snack of pistachios in the evening. According to the study published by “Aponet.de,” consuming about 60 grams of pistachios in the evening leads to balanced blood sugar levels and helps improve gut microbiome over 12 weeks. Some ‘beneficial’ bacteria that produce useful fatty acids become more prevalent after eating pistachios, while harmful bacteria are present in fewer numbers.

The study concluded that pistachios significantly help alter the condition of adults with prediabetes, especially when consumed as an evening snack. According to the study published by “Aponet.de,” these microbiome changes can offer additional long-term health benefits, such as slowing the progression of type 2 diabetes or reducing systemic inflammation.
