I'll bin the granola
But this is where it gets confusing as the diabetes UK magazine they have given me both by hospital and doctors say you can eat whole oats.
They also say not to stop eating fruit and whole fruit is fine but recommend berries, plums and peaches.
So can see why people get confused when seeing different information being handed out to them.
the trouble with conflicting advice is that you just get pulled backwards and forwards depending on the latest voice.
But there is one quick and simple way to cut through all the noise and find out what is best for YOUR body.
Get a glucometer and start testing. If you buy wisely, and test carefully, you can do it for around £1 a day. I use the Tee2, but there are a lot of others out there.
just test before eating and 2 hrs after. If the rise is more than 2mmol/l then that food, in that quantity didn’t suit you, and you can make a different choice next time. Either smaller portion, or if the portion gets so small it isn’t worth eating, then switch to another food.
A few weeks of comprehensive testing and you will have discovered for yourself what works for you.
Sorted.
