Almonds before meals: a simple trick to tame blood sugar?
NCT ID NCT07603739
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at whether eating a small handful of almonds (about 18 grams) 30 minutes before a meal can reduce the rise in blood sugar after eating. Researchers will test 25 adults with prediabetes, comparing blood sugar levels after meals with and without almonds. They also want to see if some people consistently benefit more than others.

Active substance
almonds (18 g before meals)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple dietary strategy to help manage blood sugar spikes in people with prediabetes.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 25 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The effect of almonds on blood sugar may be small or inconsistent.
