Dry Roasted Pistachio Nuts (Without Salt Added) (1 Kernel)

Keep the serving modest (about 1 ounce/28 g, roughly 45–50 kernels) and avoid repeatedly snacking from a large bag.

Eat pistachios as part of a balanced meal rather than alone on an empty stomach; combine them with protein and fiber such as plain Greek yogurt, eggs, or non-starchy vegetables.

Choose plain, dry-roasted pistachios with no sweet coatings, flavored seasonings, or accompanying high-sugar foods and drinks.

Eat slowly and spread the portion over 15–20 minutes, which may reduce rapid changes in glucose readings.

If you use a continuous monitor, confirm unusual low readings with a finger-stick test when possible; pressure on the sensor, exercise, alcohol, and normal sensor lag can create apparent drops.

If the drop is recurrent, causes symptoms such as shakiness, sweating, confusion, or faintness, or occurs while using glucose-lowering medication, discuss it promptly with a clinician.
