Oatmeal Gives Diabetes the Slip
Larrian on March 2nd, 2008 | Filed under Nutrition
Steel cut oats, just twice a week, can significantly lower blood sugar levels in Type 2 diabetes and keep it low for up to a month, according to a study in Experimetal Clinical Endocrinology and Diabetes.
Now we’re not talking about instant oatmeal or cold cereal, but good old fashioned slow cooked oatmeal, just like the Irish love to eat. The great news about this “low glycemic carbohydrate” is how little is necessary to make a significant difference in your life. Just 1/4 cup uncooked steel cut oats twice a week can keep insulin levels marching in line for up to a month AFTER you stop eating…but who would want to do that with these results?
No pharmaceutical medication can claim the same benefits with no side effects, so grab a can from your local grocery store shelf and try this simply delicious recipe from The Menopause Diet Mini Meal Cookbook:
Connemara Irish Oatmeal
