Just wondered if anyone has tried naked barley flakes? I came across some info on how it can lower blood sugar and help with other things like feeling less hungry. Would be interested if this did work or not.

It’s a carb, highly likely to raise your BS and their claims look entirely wrong to me.
The only way to find out is to eat and test.

Dislikes
Diet drinks - the artificial sweeteners taste vile.
Having to forswear foods I have loved all my life.
Trying to find low carb meals when eating out.
There are various claims for oats helping blood glucose and helping fill you up.
However most T2 people find they cannot cope with them.

IMHO anything called "Naked Barley" has had each flake individually brushed with angels' tears and this is likely to be reflected in the price.:angelic:

Give them a try by all means but prepare to be disappointed.

Have you tried porrige oats and tested afterwards?
