Diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs when the body either cannot produce enough insulin, a hormone that regulates blood sugar, or cannot properly use the insulin it produces. Diabetes leads to high blood sugar levels, which in turn can damage organs, nerves and blood vessels.<\/p>\n

People with diabetes are also at an increased risk of developing cardiovascular diseases, such as heart disease or stroke \u2013 nearly twice as often as people without diabetes.<\/p>\n

The American Diabetes Association (ADA)<\/a> states that \u201cnutrition is one of the most important pieces of the diabetes puzzle.\u201d Being aware of the glycemic index foods and developing healthy meal plans, which include whole grains like oats, is an important key to maintaining a healthy lifestyle and managing diabetes.<\/p>\n

The Glycemic Index (GI) is a ranking of carbohydrate-rich foods according to their effect on blood glucose (sugar) levels. For example, a \u201chigh\u201d GI food is one that is absorbed quickly, causing a rapid spike in blood sugar. The ADA ranks rolled oats and steel cut oats \u201clow\u201d on the Glycemic Index, making them good choices for anyone looking to manage their blood sugar.<\/p>\n

Oats are also high in soluble fiber, which can help lower blood sugar levels by delaying digestion and slowing the entry of glucose into the bloodstream.<\/p>\n

Along with diet and blood sugar levels, watching your blood pressure and monitoring your cholesterol is another important aspect of living with diabetes, and can also lower your risk of heart disease.<\/p>\n

There are two types of cholesterol in your body: low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol or \u201cbad\u201d cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein (HDL), or \u201cgood\u201d cholesterol.<\/p>\n

Cholesterol levels can be lowered by a low-fat diet that includes plenty of fresh vegetables and foods that are high in fiber, like oats. The soluble fiber in oats prevents cholesterol from being absorbed into the bloodstream, where it can attach to arterial walls and harden. Diabetics should be sure to include at least five to 10 grams of soluble fiber in their diet per day \u2013 about the amount in two servings of oats.<\/p>\n

Managing diabetes, or the risk of developing diabetes, is not a once-a-day thing, and neither is eating oats. Don\u2019t think of oats as just a breakfast food \u2013 they can be added to a variety of dishes for a great boost of fiber and nutrition at any time of day. Try a savory oat risotto, like this one with chorizo and broccoli, for a delicious way to increase your soluble fiber intake and help manage your diabetes.<\/p>\n
