Almond Butter (1 Tablespoon)

Use a smaller portion of almond butter (for example, 1 tablespoon) and avoid eating it by itself if you notice a drop in glucose afterward.

Choose unsweetened, single-ingredient almond butter; avoid varieties with added sugar, syrups, or highly refined oils.

Pair almond butter with a balanced snack containing protein and slower-digesting carbohydrates, such as plain Greek yogurt with berries or an apple.

Avoid taking glucose-lowering medication, insulin, or doing intense exercise close to the snack without discussing timing and dose adjustments with your clinician.

Track the amount eaten, timing, activity, and glucose readings for several episodes to confirm whether almond butter is the trigger rather than another factor.

Treat symptomatic or confirmed low glucose promptly according to your healthcare plan, and seek medical advice for recurrent, severe, or unexplained drops.
