Great Value Halves and Pieces Walnuts ($3)
Individuals with type 2 diabetes often have conditions such as elevated blood pressure, cholesterol, or triglycerides, which can increase the risk for heart disease and stroke. Research on the association between walnut consumption and heart health demonstrates the importance of walnuts as part of a healthy diet to help manage complications associated with diabetes.
With their low carbohydrate value (4 g/oz), walnuts are a food that can fit into many styles of eating and they're heart-healthy, too. Walnuts offer a mix of protein (4g/oz), fiber (2g/oz) and good fats (13g/oz polyunsaturated fat and 2.5g/oz monounsaturated fat), all of which can help you stay full and provide sustained energy throughout the day.
