I was told you could eat the Oatmeal if it is the "Steel Cut" variety, which tastes a little strange if you are used to the other. It isn't processed much and they said it was ok. But not cereal.

My husband is type 2 diabetic and his Dr said he can have 1/2 cup of oatmeal or bran flakes, a small apple or orange and 1/2 cup low fat milk. It doesn't spike his bs numbers. We walk after each meal and drink 4-6 cups of water daily for health and happiness.

Oatmeal and cereal both are high in carbohydrates. I know my sugar goes off the charts if I eat cereal.

it is good for you. But if you are a diabetic it's not good for you it's high on carbs which turn into sugar.

I also, eat bran flakes cereal or multi grain cheerios with 1/3 cup of blueberries and 1 cup (8 ozs. soy milk ) which is good for my cholesterol. I like boiled eggs too but they make me gassy so I occasionally eat 2 fried eggs, 2 strips of turkey bacon, small fruit but mostly cherries or strawberries, sometimes cherry tomatoes and soy milk. I eat very little bread.
