*I get a diabetes email with tips and recipes in it and thought I'd share what they said about oats and fiber.  They have listed two recipes as well.  I am hoping the links show up for them!  They should have the nutrient values at the bottom of the recipe.  I will try to check them out and post them on the board later.

By now you know how important it is to eat fiber. One good way to increase your fiber is to eat more oats. Oats can help improve insulin sensitivity in people with diabetes, which means insulin will respond more efficiently to high blood glucose. Oats also help keep blood glucose in check throughout the day when eaten for breakfast. They've also been shown to help lower cholesterol and reduce the risk for colon cancer. (For more on oats, see this story.)

Try this oat casserole for breakfast. It's hearty enough to keep you satisfied until lunch.

When you're yearning for cookies, bake up these oat-filled bites.

This delightful granola can be kept in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Top with a little milk for breakfast or a snack.

If you love homemade bread, try this one with oats, wheat germ, and whole-wheat cereal. It's especially good toasted for breakfast.

Until next week, healthy cooking!
