Whether
you've been diagnosed with type I or type II diabetes, chances are you're
facing the same challenges: how to manage your blood glucose levels and reduce
your weight. Fortunately, there are a number of easy, effective ways to manage
both, and they don't require a lot of expense, time or energy. It all starts at
the breakfast table.
Blood Glucose and Hyperglycemia
The
challenge for most diabetics is how to manage their blood glucose levels. The
normal range of blood sugar is 70 to 110 mg/dl. While glucose levels can
fluctuate throughout the day, blood sugar levels that remain over 110 to 130
mg/dl can mean that you are pre-diabetic--a dangerous disease that affects the
kidneys, heart, eyes and many other organs. Newly diagnosed diabetics learn
that one of the most important ways to manage blood glucose is by eating
complex carbohydrates--carbohydrates that break down slowly in the bloodstream,
preventing blood glucose levels from spiking.
The Glycemic Index
One of the easiest ways to manage
your blood glucose is to eat foods that rate low on the glycemic index. The
glycemic index (GI) is a rating system that is assigned to all carbohydrates
and defines how quickly they cause blood glucose levels to spike. Spiking
glucose levels can cause a number of complications in diabetes like dizziness,
nausea, muscle tremors and lack of consciousness. Using the glycemic index,
diabetics can choose foods that keep their blood glucose levels stable and
avoid serious complications.
Foods rated lower than 54 on the GI are considered low. Foods rated between 55 and 70 are medium-GI foods. Foods rated over 70 are high GI foods. The goal is to eat low-GI foods, or combine high-GI foods with low-GI foods or fat and protein to limit blood glucose spiking. Traditional oats (Oat meal from steel cut oats) rate low at 51, so you can eat as much of them as you want.

Added Benefits
Oats are also high in soluble fiber. That
means that not only do they digest slowly, keeping blood sugar levels low, they
also help to prevent certain types of colon cancer. Oats also help to lower
low-density lipoproteins by grabbing onto them and excreting them from the body
before they have an opportunity to accumulate on the inside of the coronary
arteries, which can lead to a heart attack…. Livestrong
