Oatmeal and my blood sugar. How does it affect my glucose levels?

As a type 1 diabetic i find your content really helpful. Thank you.

I make an oatcake pancake … cook the oats, add a raw egg and then cook on the frypan with butter like a pancake. serve with cream and just a few berries. Delish … and keeps you sated for a few hours.

My experience with a continuous glucose monitor and oatmeal is that when it was just plain with salt and butter my blood glucose went way way way up! When I simply added a decent amount of cinnamon, it stayed very even. This was a repeated result from doing it repeatedly.

Overnight oats with almond milk and yogurt, cinnamon and blueberries. You’ll be full all day

You have to put cinnamon in it! That helps to lower the blood sugar. 😊

With my oatmeal in it I add cinnamon, flaxseed, cranberries, blueberries, strawberries,and sometimes walnuts 😋🦋🌺🤗🤭

Hi, can you try the oatmeal outcome again with usual healthy items? Add protein(greek yogurt/milk/protein powder) and healthy fats(nuts, peanut butter) and fruits (blueberries/bananas.

Man this channel is an answer to my prayers. ❤

I add 1 cup of frozen lueberries and 30 grams of protein scoop. My glucose went from 89 mg to 95-100 mg after checking little over 2 hrs. For me, this was not bad and maneagable. Like you said, the steel cut or rolled oats combined with the protein may have slowed the spike. I eat this every morning btw. And my A1C is 5.2. 49 years old and very active. Thank you for testing!

As a kid our morning oatmeal was always served with a pat of butter and topped with whole milk a little shake of cinnamon and sugar. Still my favorite.

Thank you so much for your video! I have been so torn if I have to give up oatmeal because what all the “experts” say. For those that don’t know….I know it may sound weird but if you add in a scrambled egg into oatmeal you will get the creamiest oatmeal you have ever eaten! So good. 😋The trick is… when your oats are almost done cooking add a 1/4 cup of cold water in one spot, in that same spot pour your egg in and start stirring like crazy. This way you don’t end up with scrambled eggs in your oatmeal. You will start to see your oatmeal become a creamier consistency as you stir and it cooks. Only takes a minute. It won’t taste eggy either. I’d love to see how adding the egg would change your results.

You give out great information. From an old RN.

Thank you for these posts. I'm really staring to get a handle on controlling blood sugar for weight loss.

Ceylon cinnamon, walnuts, fresh ground flaxseed helps

Thanks! Been wondering what oats would do. i add a scoop of protein powder and peanut butter along with chia seeds to slow down the process

Wearing the continuous monitor is an excellent educational tool for diabetics even if you are not using insulin. My husband is type 2 diabetic and has a free trial for 2 weeks (one sensor). It’s extremely helpful to have the constant feedback while testing certain foods and meals. Highly recommend!

I add a TBLS of ground flax, some berries, pecans/walnuts, cinnamon, tsp vanilla, vanilla protein & TBLS grass fed butter. Stabalizes my blood sugar and tastes fantastic ❤

That's great news! After the rolled oats are done cooking, I like to top it with plain whole fat greek yogurt (protein and live cultures are great for me) and stevia for sweetness. I'd love to see a video on how these effect your levels, thank you for your consideration!

Unfortunately I have type 2 very close to type 1 A1C levels these videos are greatly appreciated I have been prescribed a G6 monitor it is very fortunate that I have one it watches me like a hawk and I am lowering that high A1C😢

Oatmeal needs to be organic. Oats r heavily sprayed w pesticides roundup

I have to add pumpkin pie spice, butter & honey. Look for "Old Fashioned" rolled oats. A good breakfast.

Hell yeah I do a breakfast burger patty and then I put olive oil butter in the oatmeal. Makes it so much richer and effective for keeping me full in the morning

Good information. Cut &rolled oats are acceptable

Portion control!!!! I have found what ever the suggested serving size is, eat half that. I have been diabetic, T2, for over 20 years. There are lots of "tricks" such as freezing things first, eating extra fat and fiber (slows down the entry of the carbs) but portion control is what works for me. I eat everything. My Fasting this morning was 85, though I usually am around 100. Had chocolate cake last night too, small portion.

I always add a good knob of butter to my oats when i cook them.

Organic steel cut oats are the least processed and the most delicious. I make five portions in the slow cooker in four hours. (add Stevia, Next milk, blueberries and toasted shaved almonds).

I add peanut butter, flax meal and fresh berries (if I have them).

Love these videos helps me out I’m type 2 diabetic

Thank you for the information 🙂

To prevent it from spiking you must eat it cold, so do sprouted organic oats and add some fat like chia or flax seeds add cinnamon and no carb protein like grassed whey protein, let sit in refrigerator… and you don’t need to eat a whole cup of oats 1/2 cup is enough

Woa, love ur channel I have pre-diabetes Have totally changed my diet, was wondering about oats Out of them now, can't eat eggs every day, thx❤🎉😢

This was interesting. Oatmeal really spikes my BG and makes me sleepy. It’s a no for me in the morning, unless I can take a nap!

Perhaps oatmeal with some fresh blueberries

I eat 1 egg bacon them. 1/2 cup oatmeal no issues but protein helps balance out any blood sugar rise

Thank you for what you do. I am pre-diabetic and don’t want get to the next stage. I love the idea of testing different foods to see how those foods may or may not raise your glucose. Can you tell me which glucose monitor you are using please?

THANK U SIR FOR ALL THE INFO U R PUTTING OUT HERE. I'M A TYPE 2 DIABETIC

That’s an interesting result actually, because when you did the same with the steel cut oats and added protein, you had quite a big spike 🧐

❤ thanks for sharing this information.

I've also noticed making savoury rolled oats with red lentils using low sodium veg.broth helps me with prediabetes no glucose spikes! Thank you for your videos look forward to them. Forgive me if I've asked before have you tried 1 tbsp vinegar w/1 cup of water before a meal you know spikes your glucose? Not ice cream or orange juice. Something like bread pasta or rice mixed with a protein.

I wonder if you add chia seeds or flaxseed if that would make a difference

Thank YOU for doing this!!!

Please test white & brown rice, chocolate brown & black, one brown bread slice, Korean ramen, egg, pasta, popcorn, sweet corn, nachos chips etc. Thx

Add tablespoon of peanut butter to your oatmeal stir it in along w/ walnuts and other fruit. Can do w/ both rolled and steel cut.

Martha Stewart has a recipe for savory oatmeal with an egg poached in it, chicken stock instead of water and fresh herbs instead of fruit or sugar. It’s an alternative and delicious. I stay clear of oats but is consider this once in a while now that I have your glucose results

I would appreciate if u also include the levels in mgdl, since that is more commonly used at my doctors' office.

i'm type 2....and 78...work out and lift weights...my A1C has been 7.1-7.4 for years.. i finger poke 3 times a day. my doc put me on ozempic to lower my A1C...boy howdy did it in 4 weeks down to 6.1...however, my sugar is all over the place because food isn't even in my stratisfer...now i'm scared and have an appt w my doc to work this out...my first thing is to get off ozempic...NOT FOR ME...I love i found your channel for type 1 folks...some of this works for me too..

Thank you for all your insight

Can you do atest using white rice vs brown rice? Does whie rice spike the glycemic index?

New supscriber. So happy I've found your channel.

Every time I have oatmeal, my stomach feels good.

Thanks for doing this! ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

This is a very helpful short

Don't forget, oatmeal can be savory! Cook it in some low sodium chicken broth, add mushrooms, onion, an egg and half an avocado! You'll love it!

Being a savory person, rather than sweet, I add an egg, onion, spinach and a bit of tomato. All in a bowl. It’s a truly filling breakfast.

Thanks for your content, it’s already opened my eyes on how to eat better as a diabetic

Surprisingly diagnosed as pre-diabetic last year, I love your content, just found your shorts. If you haven’t already done it, would you do cows’ milk vs oat milk? I keep being told I need to switch back to cows’ milk.

Thank you for sharing I truly thought it would have spiked your blood sugar. In the past i had mix feelings about oatmeal till now.

Thanks so much!

Love this content

Great! I'm a person who would not like to have sugary food, sweets, or just avoiding anything that can make blood sugar high, so i shall continue having my oates! Thank you! ❤

Perhaps consider doing a recipe series with oats like overnight oats ..etc

That’s good to know. I had regular oatmeal this morning and it did spike my blood sugar so then I thought I was not going to be able to eat any more oatmeal rolled oats good to know👍

Thank you for doing this for us the diabetic people. 💖 How about adding protein powder?

❤❤thank you for sharing.

Thanks. That was helpful. I was brought up eating porridge oats, but always felt it was not a good choice. Your glucose monitoring tells me otherwise.

1/3 cup rolled oats cooked in 1 cup water. Add two boiled/chopped eggs and top with hot sauce. Been enjoying this for years!

Good to know. Thank you for testing these foods.

Steel Cut oats with flax meal and chia seeds , along with a hard boiled and a bowl of blueberries levels out my glycemic index . Or switch the oatmeal for plain yogurt and you should be fine !!

I would like to what cottage cheese and fresh blue and strawberries would do. As a pre diabetic love this information you provide!

thanks for these videos

Did you measure the oats? If so, how much did you consume? A serving size is 1/2 cup, which is 27 g of carbohydrates, four of which are fiber. I eat properly measured serving sizes of everything I eat, including my steel cut oats, and yet they still significantly raise my blood sugar. I never had sugar or sweeteners 0 to my oatmeal and always at a protein and a fat.

I'm loving this channel

Thanks for letting us know

I love your reports!! Please show the results in mg/L, which most of us measure, thanks! How about plain yogurt as the protein with oatmeal.

This was interesting because oatmeal makes my blood sugar skyrocket, which is a shame but I feel better for not eating it.

I add blueberry, strawberry, stevia, collagen powder,cinnamon,and glycine. I use dried cranberries if I’m out of fresh fruit😉 yum oh, u can add MCT oil too

Thank you for all your videos. Can you add in your thumbnail based on rise in your blood sugar level like red , yellow and green color so people can understand by look of thumbnail which are good , moderate and bad for sugar levels 😊

Good information.

Could you please try quick oat. I buy Jamaican oats bc I think it might have less pesticides but it only come in the quick form. Ty! 💕

Absolutely love the rough rolled oats but must not add additional sugar.

Thank you for doing this cz I don’t have a clue on what to eat

I also wanna know overnight oats uncooked. Thank you!

Thank you helpful reminder.😊

It would be helpful if you would tell us what's in the oatmeal

Thank you so much for sharing this im eating roll oats for breakfast.

Try with steel cut oats and add cinnamon + a little hermesetas sweetener and No sugar soy milk . Im a diabetic this meal is great!

This is great content but people should know that were all different in regards to blood sugar reactions to specific foods. If you want your own accurate results get on a glucose monitoring system of your own to test. Great stuff here 👍

Thank you Great Info!

Please do the instant+ 3 table of steel cut few nuts, Andrew dried fruit. I found them more palletable on that way.

I was pleasantly surprised,there are lots of people who say oats are bad for you ,so for that reason I stopped eating oats so I'm going to reconsider

I love it with butter, brown sugar, raisins, and nuts.😮😊

You can add almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, flaxseed, for good fats and protein. Tofu is another option.

Great advice

Yeah, I CANNOT eat oatmeal!! The crash after is brutal!

Very educational. Get a few more people to do these videos with you!

You can also make oat groats (whole oat berries). They digest very slowly compared to rolled oats or steel cut oats.

You should do grits next. I usually eat it with 2 tablespoons of chia seeds.

Add a scoop of protein powder , my favorite is chocolate.

I am 7mos pregnant diagnosed with gestational diabetes and this morning I felt lazy to make a meal, so I went for instant oatmeal and then regret later. As it turns out the instant ones had A LOT of sugar in it and very minimal fiber. 😢 Lesson learned.

I put cinnamon on it and sesame seeds for nutty taste 🌺
