Diabetes is a chronic disease that lasts with the patient for life. This disease occurs at all stages of life. Patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, which is the most common, suffer from High blood sugar levels or irregularity.
A team of researchers emphasized in most studies the need to maintain blood sugar levels, and it is not known exactly what causes type 1 diabetes, however, it is believed to be caused by an autoimmune reaction, according to the British Express website.
Experts pointed out that type 2 diabetes is often caused by overweight or inactivity. Therefore, health authorities recommend losing weight and eating a healthy, balanced diet, among other ways, to reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Nuts are low glycemic index foods, which means they are digested slowly and do not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar levels. This can help regulate blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes.
