Why GPs should advise diabetes patients to go nuts for nuts
Regular servings of walnuts, almonds, Brazil nuts and cashews lowers their risk of CVD, study shows
People with diabetes who regularly eat nuts may be less likely to develop heart disease than their counterparts who rarely, if ever, consume nuts, a US study suggests.
Those with type 2 diabetes who eat at least five 28g servings of nuts a week are 17% less likely to develop heart disease than people with diabetes who have no more than one serving of nuts weekly, the study shows.
