Making a healthy and tasty snack for people who have diabetes can sometimes be very difficult, but the recipe for oatmeal and nut cookies can be used both for breakfast, and in the morning or afternoon snacks, if glucose levels are controlled.
Oats are rich in beta-glucan, a substance that collects part of the fats and sugar in the intestine, helping to regulate blood cholesterol and sugar levels, and nuts in addition to fiber have an unsaturated fat that lowers the recipe's glycemic index.
