I wish I knew as well. Will let you know when I find out @A DiabetesTeam Member
With the colder weather coming (I hope) I was thinking about Oatmeal. I noticed on the Steel Cut Oatmeal for 1/3 of a cup it is 31 gr. of carbs with 4 g of fibre. Does anyone know that 1/3 of a cup is that when it is already cooked or is that the measurement before cooking......thank you.
@A DiabetesTeam Member I don't see your answer anywhere. Thanks for the add- I read and liked your story. I also baked all my life (too much) and had to stop that. I tried the substitute almond… read more
This is a bit of follow on to a question that @A DiabetesTeam Member asked
I will try and stick to what "science has proven" and not some of the theories out there - simply the state of what we "know" about non-sugar sweeteners
There is 3 basic groups that generally don't effect blood sugar so are "safe enough" from a Diabetes point of view

Many are aware that Cinnamon has some blood sugar friendly qualities, but the (headlines) on the internet don't do a deep dive into the product itself.
Cinnamon has at least been known/used since the times of Ancient Egypt - over 4000 years ago.
There is two (types/strains) of Cinnamon currently available.

Cassia contains a substance called Coumarin which can be "toxic to humans"… read more

I am a T2 with a Dexcom G7. I have been using the InPen but recently my Endocrinologist has been having difficulty getting approval for a new pen. She says it’s time to look at comparable alternatives.

Many type 1s have baby's. Talk with your doctors
All of us here have either been diagnosed with Diabetes or have someone close to us that have been given the news
So what is the "criteria" that separates us from Joe or Jane SugerEater?
Currently it is simply having an A1C, above 6.5% (47.5 mmol's in the IFCC scale) "twice in a row" measured 90 days apart
That's it, that's all - that "test" is all that is required for the Doc to determine "You have Diabetes"
No matter what you do after that, no matter how you control your blood sugar - no… read more
