Hi everyone,

I am brand new and first wanted to ask if it is permissible to promote my product in the appropriate category?

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.

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.

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.

its funny/sad but these people are now getting paid to shill popular blog
sites and websites now..the difference is they have to actually talk and
participate instead of just a post and run.

so you get funny/stupid posts like :

"yes that video of the puppy and the pigmy goat dancing was great!..reminds
me of my puppy earl...earl loves me because im tall...hook up with me and
other tall males at tallmale,com"

and when people call him on the spam he just chatters away with them and
goes from post to post.

makes sense though...they can pay some kid in china 10 bucks a day and
probably get far more returns as a result because it is a live person.

the video game industry did this for years..paying kids 5 bucks a day to
farm gold/credits in popular games and then hawk said wares in the games
public places

anyhoo its a interesting/annoying turn for spam

Yes it is, I didn't know that. Now I know why some of those spammers are so
persistent with posters. Thanks for the info Krom.

I haven't been taking it at one hour lately but, next time I have the
steel cut oats for breakfast I will, if only for my own information.

That's the idea! We all vary and so we all need to test fr ourselves and
see.

Suggestion-if you find it high at 1 hour, first cut out the rye bread, and
the, if you need more, reduce the size of your oatmeal portions and, if
you need more just food to feel full add an egg or some cheese or some
meat to the breakfast.

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.

You don't know how much damage any of your meals are doing unless you
find your peak. For most folks, that's between 45-6o minutes.

in point of fact, alt groups may have self-imposed rules, but lacking a

I originally replied to this saying I had not checked at 1 hour for
quite some time so here's a followup:
This morning's breakfast was 115 grams of steel cut oatmeal with 60
grams of 2% milk along with 20 grams of light rye bread, toasted.
At 1 hour my reading was 7.7 mmol/l (140 mg/dl)
At 2 hours it was 6.1 mmol/l (110 mg/dl)
Seems OK to me.
BTW, this was NOT the type of oats mentioned in the original posting
so there's no sock-puppeting or shilling on my part.

That is great! I wish I could do the same.

Do you take a lot of meds, Ross? I ask because those are amazing
numbers for a type 2 diabetic.

He said he takes no diabetes meds.
