I suspect it depends what you spread it on. If on celery, it is probably really a terrific snack.
Peanut butter pushes up my bgs although I've not made any myself so that might be different although I doubt it as peanuts are high in carbs - 10g per 100g and that's why I don't eat them as nuts but choose walnuts which are only 3.3g per 100g.
Responses have said it doesn't bring down blood sugar but it is a good healthy snack.🙂
Natural peanut butter made from only dry roasted peanuts and salt can be a good snack option for people with diabetes. It is high in protein and healthy fats, which can help stabilize blood sugar levels and keep you feeling full longer. However, it does not directly lower blood sugar. Always monitor your blood sugar levels Show Full Answer
Portion control is paramount..I eat no salt/sugar added peanut butter every day..just peanuts....lotsa good things in it...If I don't monitor my portions it jacks up my blood.. Fwiw I only buy organic p.b.... peanuts are heavily sprayed with a variety of pesticides.. It's very possible that this is the cause of many peoples "alergy" to peanuts although other health factors could play a role also.
