8. Almonds And Other Nuts

Different varieties of nuts have different GI scores, but most are still considered a low glycemic food. Almonds (with a GI score of 0) are especially good for a diabetes diet because they have been found to regulate blood sugar and limit spikes after eating.

In fact, studies have shown that people who eat 2 ounces of almonds per day have lower fasting glucose and insulin levels. Almonds may also be able to increase insulin sensitivity in prediabetics. Incidentally, the nut with the highest GI score is the cashew, at 22.
