Oats are a good choice for people with high blood sugar, because the sugar content of oats is very low, which is in line with the principle of high blood sugar diet. Compared with other major cereals (such as wheat, corn and rice), oats can inhibit the increase of postprandial blood sugar concentration and regulate insulin.

Oats contain more linoleic acid, which can combine with cholesterol to form esters, and then degrade into cholic acid for excretion. In particular, a large amount of linoleic acid can soften capillaries and prevent arteriosclerosis.
