I started eating Quaker instant oats last week, but I noticed a slight spike in my blood sugar after breakfast. Is anyone else experiencing this with the instant variety, or should I switch to the steel-cut version instead? I get so worried seeing these fluctuations.

I can only speak from my personal experience of living with diabetes. I eat rolled Quaker oats cooked in water with a pinch of cinnamon, and it keeps my morning readings quite stable. However, everyone's body reacts differently, so it is best to test your own levels.

Yes, plain Quaker oats are good for diabetics because they have beta-glucan fiber which helps in managing blood sugar. Just make sure to avoid the flavored instant packets which contain added sugars. Hope this helps you.

I was recently told I have prediabetes, so I am very new to all of this. Is it okay to eat the white plain Quaker oats with low-fat milk, or does milk also spike sugar? I would really appreciate if someone could guide me on how to prepare it safely.
