Q 
I heard that pecans can help some people with diabetes, is 
that true?

Pecans are not only high in unsaturated (polyunsaturated and 
monounsaturated) fat, but also other nutrients that may 
improve glucose and insulin stability, according to a study 
conducted over a 16-year period. The study found that eating 
nuts might help lower the risk of type 2 diabetes in women.
