Are diabetics recommended to eat peanut butter?

My Mom got her type 2 under control using the Mediterranean diet. Lost weight, lowered A1C , bad cholesterol and every other item on the blood work report. All in 3 months time. The prior report was off the charts in bad cholesterol and sugar levels. It was truly amazing. Had I not seen the bloodwork results with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed it possible. One trick she used and swore by, was eating a teaspoon of peanut butter to curb food cravings between meals.

 

Several mornings a week I will eat toast with peanut butter on it. I also take about 5 units of Novolog before eating. My blood sugar will rise about 25 points over 2 hours then start coming down.

 

I actually use two types of Insulin. I use what's called Lantus which is a long-acting Insulin. I take the Novalog before every meal. It is short acting.

 

Berberine is an itnteresting herb for diabetes, in some ways its similar to metformin. It just has poor bioavailablility, I got nothing from a capsule form but a powder from Nootropics Depot worked well. Its really bitter, but tasting bitter things is also good for your health. Its also a good antiviral, I took it (among other things) for covid.
