The only thing that brings down high bs is not eating carbs like oatmeal, grains, sugar, potatoes, all root vegetables, fruit. Eat a ketogenic @diet and you will see results. Eating low carb high fat, moderate protein is scientifically proven to lower blood sugar. Eating LCHF for diabetes has actually been around since at least 1920. In fact this is what doctors back then advised for their diabetic patients. There's even a cookbook online dated 1919 with recipes and the food list to choose from. The diabetes associations then decided that this was not good because it could raise cholesterol, which btw is another myth. Read the book Cholesterol Clarity. Join any facebook group for help. The one I'm in is called Reversing Diabetes. This works. There's thousands of members who have come off their meds. Do you want to keep covering your highs with insulin or get off your meds? This Website Diabetes Team is useless. I've seen a few people besides me recommend a LCHF way of eating but no one here listens or does their own research. I'm actually thinking of unsubscribing to this site. I joined it to share with people what I've learned but it doesn't seem that anyone here is looking outside of the standard ADA way of eating (which obviously doesn't work).

For me I found that oatmeal slows down the absorbance of carbs so the peak is about 2 hours versus an hour after meals ..I tested 3 hrs and it was good ..I use steel cut slow cook oatmeat not the packages of instant . They contain lots of sugar ..For flavour i just add a bit of frozen berries ..

If you are having problems with starchy foods like oatmeal (that your body converts to sugar hence raising your blood glucose) I would eliminate them from your diet and eat low carb foods like eggs and bacon for breakfast. Google LCHF diet and keto diet for info and examples.

I had oatmeal last week and it put my blood glucose up pretty fast. So I wont be eating oatmeal anytime soon.

ValerieMitchel dont leave the site..... i believe that there are some people here who need to see the results of LCHF diets.... I have gotten myself off of my meds from using this method and am using Dr Fungs methods to reverse my diabetes, ThokozaniKunene we dont have to accept we have this condition, it is reversable T2D ....... just do some research and dont eat anything that spikes your blood...... test test test .... eat to your meter ....
