Not appreciated at all. First of all we hate advertising, especially
here. Secondly, oat meal of ANY kind is not good for diabetics. It
raises our blood glucose numbers. Please don't.

Sorry to hear that. I have never found oatmeal to have any effect on
my BG. But then I do not use sugar or sweeteners of any kind on it.
Just cinnamon.

You gotta cut some slack. First, SammzOats asked, didn't just post a
full blown ad.
I don't believe oatmeal is bad for every diabetic. I love oatmeal and
when I switched to steel cut oats my numbers improved. As a matter of
fact, I had a nice big bowl of steel cut oatmeal for breakfast this
morning, along with 1/2 slice of light toasted rye bread and 2 hours
later my reading was 6.3 mmo/l (115 mg/dL for you behind the times
types). Granted, I use no sugar but, that's the way I've always eaten
it, I've never cared for sugar on my oatmeal.

No, we don't.

The question was asked and answered.

Pretty much no one here can eat oatmeal without bad bg results and
previous surveys of large groups have demonstrated that doing so without
a big spike is very rare, even with steel cut oats.

Sounds sort of sockpuppet-like to me. Also, what did you switch to oatmeal
from that improved your numbers? A whole box of Trix, orange juice, and
toast? That's the only way I could believe that statement, but that's just
me.

I have not eated oatmeal for many years. I found that if I coul dnt take
a brisk walk right aftere breakfast I would have fairly high numbers a 1
and 2 hours after breakfast. I ate no bread or anything with this other
than a few Tbs of milk and salt on the oatmeal and my sugarless and
sweetenerless black coffe, the way I prefer it. If I was able to get in a
brisk walk of at least 3/4 of a mile after breakfast the oatmeal was not
too bad. I have found that, for me, cottage cheese, berries adn plain
yogurt work better for me and allow me to get mornign chores done at home
before going out to walk and get to places I want to go. Remember, YMMV
in diet for this disease.

I don't shill for anyone but, now that you've brought up the subject,
if I was going to shill, it would be for Bob's Red Mill.

It came to my mind too, but maybe we're a bit cynical with these claims?
Now, I know that some people can tolerate oats, steel cut oats etc., but I
don't believe it improved anyones numbers.:-)

No we don't have to cut any slack! This is Usenet and there is a charter.
Commercial posts are against the charter.

If I ate a big bowl of oatmeal my BG would be over 400. That's what it does
to the vast majority of us.

I'm with you. Actually I can eat Trix. Works better for me than oatmeal
ever did.

Bye!

I disapprove of advertising here, but I commend the OP for asking first.

My DH has had very good luck with Better Oats brand organic Raw pure &
simple multigrain hot cereal with flax. Its mostly oatmeal but in
controlled portions and is less than two carb counts 28 g. with 3 g.
dietary fiber) a serving. It does not spike him.

The cereal contains oats, barley, wheat, flaxseed, quinoa and rye. All
organic grains.

He likes his hot cereal with salt and pepper, no sweetener or butter or
milk.

Ah, ma Cheri,
It seems your difficulty with reading comprehension has triggered an
attempt at sarcasm. You know what they say about sarcasm.
Read my post again. I didn't switch to oatmeal from anything, I stayed
with oatmeal, just switched to steel cut oats.

Au revoir.

Ross.
