    According to research, pistachios contain a large amount of dietary fiber, mainly insoluble dietary fiber. Dietary fiber can delay the absorption of sugar in the intestine, which can avoid the sudden rise of glucose concentration in the blood after a meal. Therefore, eating staple foods or fruits with pistachios can delay the body's absorption of sugar, which is conducive to blood sugar control in diabetic patients. Compared with eating white bread alone, the blood sugar changes within 3 hours after eating pistachios at the same time.
