Absolutely. Diabetics (type 2) should learn to snack; and cashews are a nutty snack, as are almonds, peanut kernels, pine nuts, and melon seeds.

In addition to white sugar and all sugary snacks, diabetics can eat almost any food; never fasting; to put it bluntly, if you are not lying in bed and can not move or life can not take care of themselves, able to go to work and go to school normally sugar lover must ensure that a day is not less than 250 grams (five taels) of staple food; that is, rice, noodles or steamed buns.

There is a lot to learn about how to arrange these five or two main meals. For example, you can "two, two, one" three meals in the morning, noon and night; if conditions allow, such as retirement home, you can arrange into five meals, eat separately.

Because it is inconvenient to go to work, then you can prepare a variety of snacks, including the above mentioned cashews; this kind of nut food can be both beauty and beauty; but also can be laxative. But remember, not more.

Diabetics are not unable to eat, but to "eat less and eat more"; in more professional graduated words, is to stagger the peak of insulin secretion in the peak of the glycemic index of food.

In other words, people with diabetes mellitus (type 2) are not unable to secrete insulin, but the "abundance" is abnormal - either ahead of time or behind time; whereas normal people are normal because they secrete insulin in abundance two hours after a meal, which corresponds to the abundance of the glycemic index of food. The reason why normal people are normal is that they secrete insulin two hours after a meal, which corresponds to the glycemic index of food.

This is not the case with diabetics, so medications that stimulate insulin secretion are used in order to control postprandial blood sugar.

In short, it's not that diabetics can't eat; it's that they need to learn how to eat? Divide the original meal into two meals now; or add a meal between them with a little nut or fruit or a small bun.

Eat to live; control sugar after making sure you are not deficient in all vitamins as well as making sure you have enough calories to live a quality life.
