Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sirius" data-source="post: 111400" data-attributes="member: 23857">I read some stuff about research into the benefits of oat-based bread (see below), but I don't know if it's commercially available, but I use Tesco's Finest Oatmeal Farmhouse Bread. I assume that it doesn't have the high oat content of the stuff being researched, but presumably it's better than no oat content at all.Because it's Tesco Finest it's quite dear at over £1, but they also do a cheaper oat-based bread but it doesn't seem to be stocked as widely as the Finest version.Having said that, because my BG is never tested I've no idea whether it actually works, so perhaps someone on here could give it a go!!Although since I've brought my HbA1c down from 10+ to around 5.0 then it presumably isn't a total disaster area for me - I usually have four or five slices per day.SCIENTISTS hope they have cooked up a way to tackle diabetes by helping create a new type of bread.A study at Aberdeen University will look at whether an oat-packed loaf can help control blood sugar levels after a meal.The product had to be created from scratch as no bread was commercially available with a high enough oat content.The gap was filled after the scientists approached Macphie of Glenbervie, the Aberdeenshire-based food ingredients maker, and JG Ross Bakers in Inverurie.The result will be eaten by volunteers taking part in the study and will be available in JG Ross shops this week. Dr Alex Johnstone, at the university, said: "Our initial testing of the bread indicates that it is very palatable."He said the study would examine whether the bread "could delay the need for people with type 2 diabetes to start taking tablets or insulin to control their blood sugar".</blockquote>
