“Oatmeal doesn’t give you diabetes.”
——————
No, repeated large spikes of insulin do. Oatmeal (like any other carbs in sufficient quantities) causes those spikes…so technically it doesn’t cause diabetes. But the dots are easy to connect.

And before you say the your blood sugar is well controlled (which I hope it is), every person is unique and some are highly resistant to getting diabetes. That doesn’t apply to most people, though.

Oatmeal doesn’t cause it like so many other carbs.

It’s a whole grain and that regulates entry into the bloodstream.
