Old-fashioned oatmeal doesn't seem to affect my BG (even when I add a
handful of fresh blueberries to it). That's fortunate because I love it, so
I have that several days a week. However, I have read that steel-cut
oatmeal is much better for diabetics. I haven't seen any in the grociery
stores, so I am going to check with a health food store "someday." Have you
tried that?
