Oat Bran

[Vicsetter]

Anyone tried OatBran for breakfast, I've tried it the last couple of days and it seems to be OK, supposed to be better than porridge oats.

No, but I tried an oatmeal bread and had high readings

It really is a personal thing this diabetes isn't it?

Oat Bran (MorningFlake in the supermarket) is supposed to be lower GI than porridge oats as it's the outside of the raw oat. I've used it just like porridge oats for breakfast. Not the same as Oat Bran.

I bought a pack today from Sainsburys; going to try it over the weekend. Did you add anything to it to add flavour.... Amanda x🙂

I added details to your other post. I give it a squirt of Agave Nectar - a bit naughty but doesn't seem to harm too much. If you are feeling adventurous get some Dove Farm (not Dale Farm he he) WholeGrain (not the White) Spelt flour and make a 250g loaf, really tasty.

bran and nut meusli

To avoid the usual breakfast 'spike' but still have a hearty breakfast I make a 'meusli' of soy or oat bran, ground almonds, chopped nuts and wheatgerm. Total carbs per serving is less than 6 grams, so you get all the useful constituents of grains without the starches that go with them. Now my one-hour peak rarely goes above 6.5 %, which is not much more than non-diabetic normal.

I can cope with some activia fruit yog and some oat ran and the BG raise us under 3
