10. Stay Away from Flavored Oatmeal
Oatmeal, in its original form, is recommended for diabetics. But nutritionists advise against consuming flavored or sweetened oatmeal for its “sugar contamination”. Any sort of flavor is bound to have sweeteners for taste and preservatives for maintaining its quality. These two aspects result in a high concentration of added sugar which ruins the raw oatmeal benefits.
So, avoid instant “flavored or sweetened” oatmeal. However, you can garnish it with fruit extracts (although in a moderate quantity) to add a unique flavor. Also, mix it up with peanut butter, berries, or sliced apples and have fun eating diabetic-friendly yet flavored oatmeal.
