Kola nut

My mum got some kola nut from her friend who came from nigeria and ive been munching them like mad since last night so blood sugar have been high since morning so im sure if its the kola nut or just me been resistant today because i thought we didn't count nuts on DAFNE

there may be a small amount of carbs in them, but if your eating lots it will add up.

the thing with nuts is that their digestion/absorption into the blood stream is much slower than the action of the QA insulin's we use, so your background would deal with the glucose from them.

Everyone is different though and some find that nuts do effect them.

From online sources it stated they contain a lot of caffeine, which can increase your resistance to insulin I believe.
