I eat more than that at one time!....................
Not a diabetic but boy do we love the Blue Diamond Habanero almonds...Don’t really buy them too much cause we’ll eat the whole container....
The ‘Ghost’ pepper and Carolina Reaper’ ones are even better... :-)
You know doctors only get one or two days of nutrition in medical school.
Never forget your Genes as a human mammal are millions of years old. Best diet is what our ancestors were eating for millions of years. Because our bodies are best tuned in to that kind of diet.
Note that agriculture is only 15,000 years old at best.
So things like grains were never in diet of ancestors.
They did not have fridges stocked with food for frequent snacks. So avoid eating frequently. Ancestors had to hunt for food so by the time they got some animal or root veggies or fruit, it was late morning to late lunch time. So avoid breakfast calories, and eat a big meal at afternoon, and some leftovers in evening. Eat Meat!!! Our genes require it!
But not meat exclusively, must be mixed with veggies and fruits. Avoid Wheat, rice, corn, and any other grains.
Most important, ancestors walked miles to find food. So try to fit in 30 minutes brisk walk every day.
I walk 20 minutes on a treadmill every day with 1 lb wrist weights, followed by 30 pulls of 30 lb weights on a machine. I need no prescriptions, and my pre-diabetic condition is long gone away. My muscle strength at age 81 is same as I had at age 61. My balance is very good, I could join a ballet dance class and not be laughed out of it.
I should add, to my post above to include any kind of nuts in your diet because ancestors had access to those growing on trees.
Just quit ingesting the sugar!
BACON!!! It’s not “red meat”. Right?
Go for the Bold Wasabi ones.
Don’t buy 15 lbs of sugar free chocolate almonds from nuts.com (cheaper in bulk) and then eat a solo cup of them a day. They’re still about 2 carbs per almond.
Or maybe it was the other carbs I was eating. I might have to retest that one.
Hubby and I found Marcona Almonds and we are hooked.
If God didn’t want me to eat animals He wouldn’t have made them out of meat.
Oh OK we’ll check them out....TY

Fiber, protein, and fat are all good for slowing down sugar absorption into the body. Almonds have all of those.
I read The Zone many years back and it has a good, balanced approach to dieting. The book is ridiculously expensive and can be found on occasion in thrift stores. There’s a lot of fluff in the book, him building his case and all. The meat of the book is about in the middle where he explains how to balance out fats, proteins, and carbs and has charts to help you find your best option. So probably about 80% of the book you can just skim through.
I think it is worth it, though.
I’m a diabetic who loves almonds. But I also produce kidney stones like a factory. Nuts are bad for kidney stones, as is almost everything else I eat. I’ve had two surgeries in the last 12 months to smash or extract kidney boulders, and as much as I hate all that I simply cannot cut out everything that may potentially cause kidney stones. Just last night I passed about two dozen stones at once! Most were about the size of grains of sand, but four of them were at least 1/8th of an inch in diameter. Fortunately, the Flowmax I’m on has made passing the stones much easier.
Almonds are good, but they’re hard as rocks. Is there any way to make them more palatable?
Soy sauce/wasabi.
Better?
(Just don't overdo it, and don't get any containing palm oil or hydrogenated fats!)
