[QUOTE="therower, post: 2152617, member: 47983"] [USER=188016]@conniecar[/USER] . So sorry to hear that you’re struggling at the moment. Living 44 yrs as a type 1 most definitely is not a failing. I doubt that anyone would see you as a problem to the nhs. Coeliac is something I have no experience of but my understanding is that this isn’t a condition bought about by lifestyle. You haven’t failed and become coeliac. As for the porridge. If I eat porridge i can get big rises in BS. Over the years I’ve found a few things that seem to help. 1. The actual porridge or oats. M&S Whole Scottish porridge oats seem to work best for me. 2. Preparation. I mix the oats and milk on a 2:1 ratio. 2 parts milk, 1 part oats. I use a measuring cup. 3. I prep the oats the night before and leave in the fridge until the next morning. 4. I either microwave or cook on the hob. 5. I try to pre bolus about 15 mins prior to eating. Strangely as it may sound when I prep and eat oats in this way I tend to get no more than a 2 to 3 rise in BS after eating. Obviously this works for me and I’m not coeliac. Is it worth a try? I’ll leave that to you. Either way I wish you the best of luck going forward. [/QUOTE]
