“…The results obtained are controversial. Although most studies found no improvement in glucose/insulin metabolism [ 89 , 90 , 91 , 92 , 93 , 94 , 95 , 96 , 97 , 98 , 99 , 100 , 101 , 102 , 103 ], others reported a significant reduction in FBG levels [ 89 , 92 , 104 , 105 ], fasting insulin or insulin resistance [ 90 , 92 , 106 , 107 ] and HbA 1c [ 92 ]. However, a meta-analysis of RCTs including 25 trials with a total of 1,650 particpants who were otherwise healthy or had dyslipidaemia, metabolic syndrome or type 2 diabetes mellitus showed that the consumption of tree nuts led to modest decreases in fasting blood glucose compared with control diet interventions [ 108 ].…”
