Sounds marvelous, *however* oatmeal shoots my blood sugars way up -
even the old fashioned kind and it not cooked to mush! I can imagine
with the added fruit what it would do to me!

I love the stuff too - great on a cold morning.

Diabetes is *so* frustrating sometimes. Sometimes, heck - 99% of the
time. I just got back from a trip to New Orleans and was unable to
really enjoy the marvelous food down there because most of it would
have spiked my blood sugars something fierce.

Sherry, have you tried flaxmeal porridge? I'm currently eating a mix of a
scoop of protein powder, 2-3 desertspoons of flax meal and about 1/4 cup of
berries all mixed with hot water & sweetener for breakfast, tastes great and
doesn't upset the meter at all.

Hi Gumbo

You posted it in alt.food.diabetic. Would you mind clarifying what makes
this suitable diabetic fare?

I've highlighted what IMO makes it highly unsuitable.

I was thinking we could all share a serving! Maybe if we passed the bowl
around, each taking one bite and using a spoon suitable for infants, it
would be doable.

Old-fashioned oatmeal doesn't seem to affect my BG (even when I add a
handful of fresh blueberries to it). That's fortunate because I love it, so
I have that several days a week. However, I have read that steel-cut
oatmeal is much better for diabetics. I haven't seen any in the grociery
stores, so I am going to check with a health food store "someday." Have you
tried that?

Nope, after the way the other oatmeal skyrocketed my blood sugars, I
decided to just forget about it....
