Green peas also contain phytonutrients that play a stellar role in regulating blood sugar levels among diabetics. These phytonutrients are known as Pisumsaponins I and Pisumsaponins II and Pisomosides A and Pisomosides B. These phytonutrients work alongside other important nutrients to control Type 2 diabetes and regulate blood sugar levels. The combined effect of phytonutrients, fiber and protein help lower blood sugar levels and consequently the risk of Type 2 diabetes.
