i need to know if oatmeal can lower blood suger if it is really high?

Answer 1

Oatmeal helps to lower cholesterol, not blood sugar. If you want a food that helps lower blood sugar, sprinkle some cinnamon on your oatmeal... it helps quite a bit. Nothing helps more than a healthy diet combined with lots of daily exercise, though. Go to my profile (Click Foghorn) and read some of the links I provide.

Answer 2

No it will raise it more. It is a carbohydrate. Not eating will lower your blood sugar.
All foods are converted into glucose by the body.
Fats in 6-8 hours or more, Proteins (meat,eggs,beans) in 3-4 hours, and Carbohydrates in 30 minutes. Carbohydrates include starches such as rice, pasta, breads and cereals.
A proper diet will combine fats, carbohydrates, and proteins at each meal, to provide nutrients and create an even release of glucose into the blood. Whole Grain carbohydrates turn into sugar slowly and help keep the blood sugar stable.
Avoid sugar and high amounts of carbohydrates. Eat moderate, balanced meals at regular times.

Answer 3

1/2 cup of plain dry quick oats has about 27 grams carbohydrate. This will add to your overall carb consumption. It will not lower your blood sugar. Look at the Nutrition Facts listed on all packages to gage your total carbohydrate consumption for each meal

Answer 4

it can with time and that means using this instead of eggs and stuff its a really good source for breakfast. but it won't do it right away the only thing that can do that is shot. (insulin) and then you have to be very careful. you can go into shock if its too high or too low and that is what causes problems with kidneys and liver and all organs and that is why diabetics have to watch and diet and be careful. having high ones is as bad as low sugars.

Answer 5

it is recommended for diabetics to eat plain oatmeal,not the sugary ones though ,and staying away from all other sugary stuff
the oatmeal is supposed to help keep you full,so you won't eat before the next set time
hope this is of some help
