Summer Whole Grains for Better Blood Sugar

Summertime can be good for your blood sugar. Just make sure you pack your picnic basket with whole-wheat buns, brown-rice salad, and an oat-berry crumble.

With whole-grain foods like these, it will be smooth sailing. Studies show that nutrient- and fiber-dense whole grains help keep blood sugar levels quite steady.

It helps to never buy yogurt, jello, gum or drinks with aspartame in it.

I absolutely love Ezekiel 4:9 bread !!! It is flourless, low-fat, full of protein and especially full of fiber !!!! I have two pieces in the morning and i'm good to go !!!

Great Harvest has whole grain breads that are very tasty. I like the High Five Fiber, which has 5 fibers per serving. I am incorporating more fiber in my diet and am always looking for foods with more fiber that taste good.

Cereals with copper in them help me if the sugar level is lower than 15 grams per cup.

For Californians, check out a store called Le Pain Qoutidien , They only carry about 4-5 sorts of whole grain breads, but the ONLY bread I will buy or eat here in the U.S. Located in Studio City, Bev. Hills and now in Pasadena. GREAT!

Add quinoa to your diet for gluten free protein packed yummy alternative to rice, or mix it with brown rice - yummy! Research it here.

I have type 2 Diabeties and Celiac Diease. I have difficulty including whole grains. I can get Glutin Free oats, Rice and Corn. Some of the GF Breads are over processed. Any recomendations?

Are there other choices to increase fiber?
