In moderation, they probably won't hurt you. A handful of almonds or
walnuts instead might actually help though... better fats. Peanuts are
not really a nut, true nuts are better for you.

I like cashews, but they have a lot more carbs in them than peanuts so
I have
to dose for them when I eat them, plus I get hit with the proteins
raising my
bg 3-5 hours out and dosing for that.

I still like cashews :-).

So do I - but they're not a nut either :P
