Decided to trail the Libre sensor, they had a trail for $15 so got one. Its interesting how food raises your blood sugar instantly. Today decided to trail how oats reacts so made baked oats for brunch oats, egg, low fat milk yoghurt cinamon ginger a bit of honey ½banana and 2 dates. We are told oats dates etc are good for diabetes yet its spiked my blood sugar after eating immediately to 12 mmol. And still going up. How can that be good for diabetic or anyone not diabetic. Does anyone have the same reaction to oats?

Thanks Anne

Hi @annabell1 , all carbs (except fiber) turns to glucose in the body.
Oats, honey, banana and dates are all very high carb.

I certainly do @annabell1 . The oats plus the banana, the honey and dates would have sent my blood sugars way up. As @Antje77 states, our bodies turn all carbs into glucose.
 
Hi @annabell1 I would suggest if you want to test oats you just try the oats. The lovely bowl you put together sounded tasty, but as a Type one I would have needed an awful lot of insulin to manage that.
