Cran-Apple Oatmeal

> Cran-Apple Oatmeal Sounds marvelous, *however* oatmeal shoots my blood sugars way up - even the old fashioned kind and it not cooked to mush! I can imagine with the added fruit what it would do to me! I love the stuff too - great on a cold morning. Diabetes is *so* frustrating sometimes. Sometimes, heck - 99% of the time. I just got back from a trip to New Orleans and was unable to really enjoy the marvelous food down there because most of it would have spiked my blood sugars something fierce. Sherry |

I'm currently eating a mix of a scoop of protein powder, 2-3 desertspoons of flax meal and about 1/4 cup of berries all mixed with hot water & sweetener for breakfast, tastes great and doesn't upset the meter at all.

Would you mind clarifying what makes this suitable diabetic fare? I've highlighted what IMO makes it highly unsuitable. Cheers, Alan, T2 d&e, Australia.

Maybe if we passed the bowl around, each taking one bite and using a spoon suitable for infants, it would be doable. -- See my webpage: http://mysite.verizon.net/juliebove/index.htm |

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? MaryL |
