Well for a year now I’ve been eating plain original oatmeal and putting 1 pack of truvia in it and cutting up an apple in it.. eating salads and eggs and chicken and veggies and walking more I went from 8.9 to 5.7 n1c 😊 lost 50 pounds too
Are you using true cinnamon? Anyone who is reactive to a food will have a glucose spike from inflammation/cortisol even when the ingredient doesn't make sense. A friend had a 40 pt spike from sauteed zucchini.
I eat steel cut oats with blueberries, chia seeds and ground flax with some Yogurt. I take your glucose supplement. Sometimes replace oatmeal with Quinoa. Amen. My AIC stays at 5.0. Thanks you.
Oatmeal trick I do. I use sprouted organic oats. 2 Tbls oats 2 Tbls flax seed 2 Tbls chia 2 Tbls hemp coconut oil top with butter cinnamon cream monk fruit and cream yummmm 🎉
Monk fruit is 300x sweeter than sucrose, and artificial and low/no calorie natural sweeteners still spike blood sugar. Weening oneself off of sweeteners will eventually increase one's sensitivity and appreciation for the sweetness of fruits.
I found a crock pot recipe with a cup and a half of steel cut oats, apple slices, 1/2 tsp Ceylon cinnamon, 3 1/2 cups of water. Be sure and spray the small crockpot with cooking spray first. Mix all and cook on low for 8 hrs in small crock pot. I have done this 2 times now and have enough oats for at least 4 breakfasts! Delicious! I use stevia for sweetner.
That was a picture of rolled oats not steel cut. I also treat steel cut oats like grits in respect to cooking with water and adding some olive oil, salt, pepper, cumin and diced onion, mushrooms and asparagus. Goes well with side of eggs. I use 1/4 cup organic steel cut oats , Walmart brand. I’m not diabetic but my understanding is that steel cut oats are lower glycemic because all the fiber from the husk is still there and not processed out.
I stopped eating oatmeal because within an hour or so, I would get really hungry which is a sure sign that it was spiking my blood sugar. I will try the Steel Cut Oats and see if it makes a difference. Thanks for all of the information that you have provided. I really appreciate it!
My wife (who is not diabetic) and I make a mix to give oatmeal added flavour. We mix raw sunflower seeds, raw pumpkin seeds, crushed almonds, ground flax, and chia seeds every few weeks. Sprinkle two teaspoons over the oatmeal. If you like you can substitute pecans or walnuts for the almonds if you like. This also helps bland high fiber low GI cereals like Post Wheat 'N Bran Shredded Wheat.
I cook ste5el cut oats the night before I eat them. Bring them to a boil and simmer 5 minutes covered. Turn off heat and leave them until morning. Voila! Perfectly cooked. Enjoy!
Thank you dr. for all the good information you provide us thru your videos. I am diabetic and stopped taking metformin since it was giving me a terrible tummy ache. I has recently started on your advanced glucose support and the next day my my glucose was 90, the following day 88, and on the third day was 77. Just like you said it is close to a miracle.
After 2 weeks those cramps will go away. Yes the first 2 weeks are rough. I know om on 1000 mg twice a day. I started on 500 mg twice a day. You should give the medication a chance.
@@elisatorres7948 ,I was on Metformin for a long time about 15 - 20 years ,it never bothered me, but last year it made me horribly sick, could not keep anything in my stomach, constant and immediate diarrhea, had to stop taking, I think the formula has been changed
Every time I eat steel cut oats (organic) I am ferociously hungry ALL DAY! There’s none of that “full and satisfied” at all. I’d eat it more often if that didn’t happen.
Have been eating oatmeal for years, with sliced almonds, and cinnamon. Kept getting increasingly constipated. started using cider vinegar gummie probiotics, after about a month or so, bowel movements started to become normal again.
I need a bit of constipation actually so I will try this maybe but do you use water or milk to cook in? And it is kinda sweet enough with the cinnamon alone? No butter then I presume.
I use steel cut oats in place of rice. So I make them savory with salt, and then top them with stir fried chicken or fish with onions, garlic, ginger, mushrooms, leafy greens or cruciferous veggies, and Szechuan chili oil. I keep the portion size to ⅛ cup uncooked, and only have them 2-3 times a month.
I love pairing with a sill firm almost green half banana. High in fiber and fills me up while stimulating bowl action. I also soak my oats over night to eliminate any gluten. My body loves my oatmeal. I bet I can fix it a hundred different ways!
Tip on getting steel cut oats, soft enough to eat, and lowering the cooking time: Put the oatmeal and water in a microwave safe bowl, the night before, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave just long enough to get the water hot. Then let it set overnight. Greatly reduces the cooking time, the next morning, and you can finish it in the microwave. And in general, adding a bit of another cereal grain, will give you a more complete amino acid chain.
Hello Doctor. Thank you for the information. .What is intetesting is that I cannot tolerate any oats including steel-cut oats and gain weight very quickly after these and am bloated immediately after eating even with the recommendations that you advise. I am allergic to oats. Everyone is different.
Thank you for making this video. I'd asked you about oatmeal on your last video and you just answered my question for me. I'll eat 1 cup steel cut oats twice a week and that will be a nice break from eating eggs every day. Again, thank you.
Love making overnight oats, but admittedly use quick oats instead of steel cut. I do use steel cut if on the stovetop tho. It's really good to make with licorice root, cloves and star anise steeped in water and a splash of milk. I read somewhere that licorice root and star anise can have anti diabetic effects. I'm not sure if I use enough to do much, but it does give a nice and natural sweet taste without adding sugar or sugar alternatives.
@@ednafologme4067 I just make put a few full stars in a piece of cloth, steep it for about ten minutes and use the tea as a replacement for half of the milk that would normally be used in oatmeal
We need an insulin index rather than just a glycemic index. Foods that cause a large insulin spike should be limited. Oats was considered low glycemic, but I have read it causes quite a large insulin spike. Not good for diabetics.
Dr Ergin I refer to your video clip about Moringa. I have a Question: I am diabetic type 2 and I am taking Metformin 1000mg in the morning and at night. Can I still use Moringa? Please let me know. Thanx
I love oats, but I have found that oats make me crave food ALL day. I prefer my almond flour, coconut flour, whey protein bread toasted with tea. I do not graze looking for the magic food that will satisfy me.
I use the sugarmd glucose supplement, and it works. I also eat oatmeal with unsweetened almond milk. I put chia seeds and blueberries in it. It curves my appetite and I enjoy the taste.

Had been eating steel cut oats by soaking them in coconut milk overnight in the fridge-with berries, chia seeds & walnuts. Eat the concoction at noon. It helped constipation. Then it didn’t become as effective. Now take psyllium husk instead.

Wearing the Freestyle Libre 3 glucose monitor is great for this, since you can just check your blood sugar on your phone, anytime you want. No more finger pricks.
Drink healthy high fat dairy products which is actually healthier as you need healthy fat with fat soluble vitamins and also need to make good cholesterol.
That’s great! Steel-cut oats are a fantastic choice. They take longer to cook but are worth the effort since they have a lower glycemic index, which helps keep blood sugar more stable. Plus, they’re packed with fiber and nutrients. Enjoy your healthy and delicious breakfast! 😊
I am not a diabetic according to my doctor though my fasting blood work number was 6 but I am very concerned about eating healthy meals your post about oatmeal is very timely. I just bought some locally grown organic oatmeal their traditional stone ground and their organic Groats to reintroduce them to my diet.. When I began my weight loss journey I often broke my fast in the morning with a dinner meal and finished the day with oatmeal with some strawberries. I was a bit nervous about how to reintroduce it back into my life you have given me the benefit of your knowledge and I am very grateful for your help thank you 😊 may you live long and prosper 🖖 ❤🎉❤😊
Interesting reverse dinner meal for breakfast. I'm trying out finishing off dinner by 5 PM but want to move it bet 4 -5 PM if I need to leave earlier in the morning but want to have breakfast at home

I eat oatmeal regularly for the past 30 years daily in the am, l use old fashioned oats, 1/4 cup of walnuts, teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/2 cup of diced fruit[ peaches, pineapple, blueberries, pears ] with a cup of oats, l call it my super breakfast! No hunger until in the afternoon, amazing
Excellent video. Is there any truth to the idea that you should cook oats then let them cool and then reheat them later. That is supposed to transform the carbs somehow so they absorb slower
I D.R are you doing thank you for the advice I’m scared to eat oatmeal sometimes my Blo sugar went high now I’ll try it thank you again God Bless 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Why make it difficult for us type 2s? I take a combination of Psyllium husk, flaxseeds, and chia seeds to meet my daily fiber needs which has made my GI system very happy, relieved my bloating, and maintains my sugar reading controlled. Just an afterthought: what may work for some may not work for all. Just my suggestion.😊
I have A very small portion with blueberries and cinnamon. I put benefiber in my coffee and get active. I brought your supplement but having to take antibiotics so waiting to get well.
Love your health advice! you are a very good vlogger. An instant pot can cook steel cut oats and works great. If you are new to an instant pot, try the instructors, Pressure luck cooking or Amy & Jacky for instructions. You will love them, and you will like steel cut oats.
I /4 almond meal, 1 tsp of flax meal, berries, pumpkin seeds, ricotta cheese, 1 tbsp of chia seeds, flax milk , cream, stevia, peanut butter makes for a great porridge in the morning. I used to have bowl of oatmeal my sugars spiked like crazy, I always felt deprived, I can probably tolerate only Tbsp of oats at the most, all these things I mentioned has a lot of fiber too. I understand being holistic, however it is not for me.
I like oatmeal but do not care for the steel cut variety any tips on preparing it where i might like it better ? I also take your AGS and it is the best over the counter help i have ever used.Thanks Dr. Ergin's

Can anybody tell me if (Better Oats) 100 Cal... quick cooking oatmeal with flaxseed from Target... 18 carbs, 3 dietary fiber, less than 1 g of total sugars. Does not say steel cut Qualify for healthy breakfast for a type 2 diabetic
Hi. I had a look at the ingredients listing and nutritional,panel. The quick cooking oats would probably have a high effect on your blood glucose levels (BGL), but the addition of flaxseed would help slow down the effect. The steel cut would probably be a better choice. I would cook it longer than what the packet says. Do you test your BGL? If yes, try them. Test your blood before you eat and 2 hours after you finish the oats. You may want to cook the oats with milk rather than water. Milk will help slow the rise in your BGL and help with feeling a little fuller. Do you eat anything else with breakfast? Have that too or test the oats by itself. Testing yourself is the best way to see what happens. The finer the oats the quicker it will push up your BGLs (that is usually a good guide). Let me know what happens, if you want 😊

Fiber doesn’t help me control blood sugar. If I eat half a small pear it’s going to spike over 200. Oatmeal, even steel cut, same thing.

I always eat my oatmeal with equal sweetner. Thank you for the information about the benefits of oatmeal because I am type 2 diabetic.
Equal is aspartame which metabolizes into formaldehyde, which is what we embalm dead bodies with. Use stevia or raw honey instead.
Use a sugar alcohol like xylitol or monk fruit. Stay away from aspartame.
Equal will 100% spike your glucose, it is quite bad for diabetes. You can check this by testing your glucose after using Equal. Use Stevia, Monkfruit or Eythritol.

Had been eating steel cut oats by soaking them in coconut milk overnight in the fridge-with berries, chia seeds & walnuts. Eat the concoction at noon. It helped constipation. Then it didn’t become as effective. Now take psyllium husk instead.
Amen I love your program

My recipe for two of us: 2/3 cup whole oats, 2/3 cup milk, 2/3 cup water, brown erythritol, pecans or almonds, and one egg. Finish with berries, milk or Greek yogurt. It’s filling and we’re not hungry soon after eating.
I make steel cut oats, yogurt, chia seeds, and one tablespoon of peanut butter. Oh I forgot I put a few almonds and walnuts in there too. It keeps me full for a long time.
Thank you for this. Additional information in helping me in daily battle with diabetes. And for my future since I'm not getting any younger. 😁
What about sprouted oatmeal?Is that the same? Thank you.
Thank you Dr. Ergin for your videos! Very informative!

Thank you, Doctor
Amen. Thank you so much
What are the nutriants in oates ?
What is your view about sprouted oats for oatmeal? They take a long time to make also and supposedly supercharges the vitamin and mineral benefits.
It's good and won't spike your sugar fast
Thank you for this information, it's very important to me.
Thank you Doc for the value information.
It spikes me then drops me way to low faster then even eating something bad like pancakes
What about using oat-bran instead of oat meal?
I eat oatmeal with walnuts and cinnamon as well as a splash of milk. No spikes.
How do you know no spikes? Do you test your blood sugar after breakfast?
@@angelalaskodi3459 exactly
can you please tell me exactly how much you eat...1 cup?...thanks
Wearing the Freestyle Libre 3 glucose monitor is great for this, since you can just check your blood sugar on your phone, anytime you want. No more finger pricks.
@@angelalaskodi3459 Yes. I test 2 hours after each meal.
I eat my oatmeal with blackberries, walnuts, and a dollop of 0% milk fat greek yogurt, which smooths out the texture and just tastes good.
Drink healthy high fat dairy products which is actually healthier as you need healthy fat with fat soluble vitamins and also need to make good cholesterol.
Yummy 😋
I only make steel cut oats it takes longer to cook but its worth it in the end
That’s great! Steel-cut oats are a fantastic choice. They take longer to cook but are worth the effort since they have a lower glycemic index, which helps keep blood sugar more stable. Plus, they’re packed with fiber and nutrients. Enjoy your healthy and delicious breakfast! 😊
Always have oatmeal with cinnamon. Tasty, and the cinnamon stabilizes blood sugar longer.
I am not a diabetic according to my doctor though my fasting blood work number was 6 but I am very concerned about eating healthy meals your post about oatmeal is very timely. I just bought some locally grown organic oatmeal their traditional stone ground and their organic Groats to reintroduce them to my diet.. When I began my weight loss journey I often broke my fast in the morning with a dinner meal and finished the day with oatmeal with some strawberries. I was a bit nervous about how to reintroduce it back into my life you have given me the benefit of your knowledge and I am very grateful for your help thank you 😊 may you live long and prosper 🖖 ❤🎉❤😊
Buy steel cut, stone ground is not good for your teeth... 😉
Interesting reverse dinner meal for breakfast. I'm trying out finishing off dinner by 5 PM but want to move it bet 4 -5 PM if I need to leave earlier in the morning but want to have breakfast at home
@@janthuslan2616 I often have my last meal of the day before 4:30 my parents did the same thing for years now that I am a senior it works for me too. Since I work from home I can do what I want right now I am braising beef hearts to make a stew later.👋🏻🧝🏼🤚🏻👍👍👍🌟🌺🍀🌺🌟🖖🖖🖖
Soaking steel cut oats overnight renders it ready to eat without any cooking. If you wish it to be warm just microwave it a few seconds.
Thanks for sharing
Very helpful info. Thank you Doctor
I eat oatmeal regularly for the past 30 years daily in the am, l use old fashioned oats, 1/4 cup of walnuts, teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/2 cup of diced fruit[ peaches, pineapple, blueberries, pears ] with a cup of oats, l call it my super breakfast! No hunger until in the afternoon, amazing
Thank you for sharing and commenting. Appreciate it! Learn more about oats: th-cam.com/video/F7_kn3k-ygk/w-d-xo.html
Excellent video. Is there any truth to the idea that you should cook oats then let them cool and then reheat them later. That is supposed to transform the carbs somehow so they absorb slower
Unlikely
That works with beans
And white rice....turns it into resistant starch.
I D.R are you doing thank you for the advice I’m scared to eat oatmeal sometimes my Blo sugar went high now I’ll try it thank you again God Bless 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Why make it difficult for us type 2s? I take a combination of Psyllium husk, flaxseeds, and chia seeds to meet my daily fiber needs which has made my GI system very happy, relieved my bloating, and maintains my sugar reading controlled. Just an afterthought: what may work for some may not work for all. Just my suggestion.😊
I have A very small portion with blueberries and cinnamon. I put benefiber in my coffee and get active. I brought your supplement but having to take antibiotics so waiting to get well.
boil it in plenty of water and put it in a strainer to discard excess water and starch
Doc my brother is in the Philippines, where can he purchase sugarMD?.Thanks.
Steel cut are good. Oat groats which are the whole grain from of oats are even better. Pre-soaking the oats groats over night will decrease cook time.
Interesting, thx
Amen, your blood glucose support is wonderful doc,
Thank you so much for all the good work you do and god bless
No such thing as god
Love your health advice! you are a very good vlogger. An instant pot can cook steel cut oats and works great. If you are new to an instant pot, try the instructors, Pressure luck cooking or Amy & Jacky for instructions. You will love them, and you will like steel cut oats.
@Sandy-qv7ji, thank you for sharing that 😊
Amen, This stuff works
I /4 almond meal, 1 tsp of flax meal, berries, pumpkin seeds, ricotta cheese, 1 tbsp of chia seeds, flax milk , cream, stevia, peanut butter makes for a great porridge in the morning. I used to have bowl of oatmeal my sugars spiked like crazy, I always felt deprived, I can probably tolerate only Tbsp of oats at the most, all these things I mentioned has a lot of fiber too. I understand being holistic, however it is not for me.
I like oatmeal but do not care for the steel cut variety any tips on preparing it where i might like it better ? I also take your AGS and it is the best over the counter help i have ever used.Thanks Dr. Ergin's
Great video thanks 😊
What kind of oatmeal
Great video. I had removed oats, and am delighted to try again

@@SugarMDs I love oats but gave them up because made my blood sugar go up now I have seen these suggestions may try again
Can anybody tell me if (Better Oats) 100 Cal...
quick cooking oatmeal with flaxseed from Target...
18 carbs, 3 dietary fiber, less than 1 g of total sugars.
Does not say steel cut
Qualify for healthy breakfast for a type 2 diabetic
Hi. I had a look at the ingredients listing and nutritional,panel. The quick cooking oats would probably have a high effect on your blood glucose levels (BGL), but the addition of flaxseed would help slow down the effect. The steel cut would probably be a better choice. I would cook it longer than what the packet says. Do you test your BGL? If yes, try them. Test your blood before you eat and 2 hours after you finish the oats. You may want to cook the oats with milk rather than water. Milk will help slow the rise in your BGL and help with feeling a little fuller. Do you eat anything else with breakfast? Have that too or test the oats by itself. Testing yourself is the best way to see what happens. The finer the oats the quicker it will push up your BGLs (that is usually a good guide). Let me know what happens, if you want 😊
What about overnight oats?
