Improve blood sugar control

Consuming walnut oil may help with type 2 diabetes's poor blood sugar management. Uncontrolled blood sugar levels can eventually cause kidney and eye damage, heart disease, and stroke. Consuming foods that reduce blood sugar, such as walnut oil, can help avoid these problems.

Consuming 1 tablespoon (15 grams) of walnut oil daily for 3 months significantly decreased fasting blood sugar and hemoglobin A1c levels, which reflect long-term blood sugar, compared to baseline values, according to one research in 100 persons with type 2 diabetes. The high content of antioxidants in walnut oil, which can aid in the battle against oxidative stress brought on by high blood sugar levels, may be the cause of the favorable benefits of walnut oil on blood sugar management.
