A diabetes discovery journey (steel cut oats) ...
Testing steel cut oats' influence on blood sugar ...
with sprinkle of cinnamon and 2 tbsp half & half.
Carbohydrates in ingredients:
1 cup steel cut oats - carbs: 116g
2 tbsp psyllium husk - carbs: 11g
Carbs per each of 4 servings: 31.8g
Fasting blood sugar before test: 106 (5.9 )
Blood sugar 1 hr after test: 137 (7.6)
Blood sugar 1 1/2 hrs after test: 117 (6.5)
Analysis: Coarse grains that digest quickly cause noticeable blood sugar increase
Psyllium may have limited effect when quick-digesting grains are consumed ...
and psyllium has some carbs.
But quickly decreasing blood sugar (for this test) hints that steel cut oats
may be acceptable with recommended serving size. Who can tell
Or maybe psyllium limited the duration of higher blood sugar?
