Multigrain toast with nut butter

A simple breakfast choice that is good for diabetics is toast and nut butter. Research has shown that consuming foods high in fat may decrease the release of sugar into the bloodstream and prevent blood sugar increases. Although peanut butter is used in the example, you can also use cashew or almond butter. For this simple recipe, start by selecting your favorite multigrain bread. Then, top it with rich layers of your favorite nut butter, and fresh fruit. Make sure you select sugar-free, natural versions.
