During lactation, individuals with elevated blood glucose levels are generally advised to avoid consuming fresh peanuts. This is primarily because peanuts contain a high amount of fat; their consumption may not only raise blood glucose levels but also increase blood lipid levels, potentially leading to complications if consumed in excess. However, if blood glucose is well-controlled and the patient follows an appropriate nutritional plan, small amounts of fresh peanuts may be consumed.
