TRIBUNJOGJA.COM – Diabetics must pay attention to the food consumed.
Diabetics must also be disciplined with carbohydrate intake every day.
Because carbohydrates contribute to spikes in blood sugar levels.
Replacing rice consumption with oatmeal is believed to be one way to maintain blood sugar balance.
This alternative carbohydrate source does have a low glycemic index so it doesn’t cause a drastic increase in blood sugar.
That is why, this food is recommended for diabetics.
Consumption of oatmeal can also improve heart health.
Moreover, diabetics are also prone to heart disease.
Here are the various benefits of oatmeal:
-
– helps regulate blood sugar due to moderate to high fiber content and a lower glycemic index.
-
– healthy for the heart because of its soluble fiber content and lowers bad cholesterol
-
– high in fiber so that it keeps us full longer and helps control weight
-
– helps healthy digestive function.
However, not all oatmeal on the market is good for diabetics.
