Oatmeal causes a really high spike in my BG

Postby Poison Ivy » Mon Mar 05, 2018 10:12 pm

I hope I am allowed to post this here in your forum Jeff. If not, I am sorry and please delete. I posted this in the lounge but no real answers. Oatmeal causes my BG to rise above 200 when I eat it and the BG is sustained for a day or two before it returns to normal levels. My HBA1C has been slowly creeping up over the years but the irony is that the oatmeal has also caused my TC to plummet to below 120 so that is a really good thing. My doctor has brought this to my attention. Have you ever heard of oatmeal doing this to some people? Is it still ok to eat if it is causing me sustained blood sugar spikes like this? What are your thoughts if any?

Thanks!
Poison Ivy
