Thanks Wendy.
I do have my BG well under control but every once in a while I want
oatmeal and the steel cut stuff doesn't take me anywhere near the
numbers that regular rolled oats did. Many years ago I read somewhere
that the high heat generated during the rolling process converts some
of the starch in the oats to sugar and apparently that doesn't happen
when they are steel cut.
That's why I tried the steel cut oats and they definitely work for me.
But, what works for me certainly doesn't mean it will work for someone
else.

Ross.
