Diabetes tips

Carbs come from the oats, berries, and yogurt. Oats have a medium glycemic index, but the chia seeds add significant soluble fiber that slows glucose absorption — expect a gentler, more gradual rise than with typical breakfast cereals. Use your usual dosing method agreed with your care team to determine your bolus, and consider pre-bolusing 10–15 minutes before eating given the moderate glycemic impact. If adding honey, factor in the extra carbs. Log this meal in your journal to track your personal glucose response.
