Instant oats are also milled to a smaller size, so they take even less time to prepare. But this convenience means your body breaks down both types of oats quickly, which means the carbohydrates in the oats are more rapidly converted to glucose and absorbed. That can lead to a spike in blood sugar.

Read More »Most people think of oatmeal as one of the best foods to start your day. After all, this whole grain is a good source of fiber and is associated with a reduced risk of heart disease and weight loss. But your blood glucose might not agree that oatmeal should be considered a “superfood.” Levels data consistently shows it’s one of the worst foods for blood sugar. In Levels food logs, it spikes blood sugar an average of 34 mg/dL. To see why, start with the oats themselves. Rolled and instant oats are processed foods. To speed up cook time, both have the outer husk removed and are flattened, pre-cooked, and toasted dry. Instant oats are also milled to a smaller size, so they take even less time to prepare. But this convenience means your body breaks down both types of oats quickly, which means the carbohydrates in the oats are more rapidly converted to glucose and absorbed. That can lead to a spike in blood sugar. A crash often follows a sudden rise in glucose as your body releases extra insulin to try to get back to homeostasis. That blood sugar dip is why you may feel hungry and sluggish soon after a carb-heavy breakfast. This kind of eating could lead to health problems down the road. Regular large spikes and plummets of glucose (called high glycemic variability) are linked to an increased risk of diabetes, obesity, Alzheimer’s disease, and cancer. And when you consider the links between metabolic function and cardiovascular disease, oatmeal’s status as a heart-healthy food seems less certain. Then consider what you eat with the oatmeal. Instant oats often come with added sugar and processed “natural flavor” derived from fruits, vegetables, spices, and herbs. Or you may add your own sweetener to rolled oats in the form of brown sugar, maple syrup, or high-glycemic fruit such as bananas or raisins. Either way, your bowl is likely heavy on sugar and light on protein and fiber, two essential nutrients that can help blunt the glucose-spiking effect of carbohydrates, leading to a lower blood sugar rise after a meal.
