Walnuts

Walnuts are the first nut on the list of the best nuts for diabetes. Walnuts, also known as "akhrot" in Hindi, are incredibly nutritious and safe to eat during pregnancy. The kernel of a walnut resembles a brain, and not only does it resemble a brain, but it also aids in brain function. Walnuts can also be used in baked goods, meat and fish meals, as well as vegetable and fruit salads. Besides, walnuts can be eaten in a variety of ways. They can be eaten whole or finely chopped, depending on your preference.

According to a small randomized controlled trial published in the journal Diabetes, Obesity, and Metabolism in July 2017, walnuts may help boost feelings of fullness, decrease unhealthy food cravings, and potentially support weight loss. Walnuts are also high in alpha-lipoic acid (ALA), which can help reduce inflammation, making them a favorite nut to suggest to everyone. Diabetes, as well as other diseases like Alzheimer's and heart disease, are linked to inflammation.
