Question:

From Michigan, USA:

I am 10 years old. I have Type 1 diabetes. If I eat a spoonful of peanut butter before I eat something sweet, will it lower the amount of sugar that is put into my system?

Answer:

Sounds like an interesting idea, but actually all the peanut butter will do is possibly prolong the absorption of the sweets. It gives you a lot of calories, besides, so I would suggest not doing that very often.
