oatly for diabetics
Hey so. I sadly had the misfortune of getting diagnosed with pre diabetes. And I’ve been looking around a lot to change my diet accordingly. I can consume cow milk in small quantities but was thinking of just switching entirely to an alternative. I was wondering if anyone had experience with oat milk and if it affects blood sugar a lot. Thank you so much in Advance.

Hi friend!
Thanks for reaching out.
We believe our products can be part of a healthy diet and lifestyle for the population general - including those with diabetes, like you. As always when it comes to what we eat and drink it’s the complete diet that’s important but good to know about our unflavoured oat drinks is that they:
• Have no added sweeteners (containing 3.4g sugar per 100 ml - which is maltose derived from the oats)
• Are low in saturated fats and salt
• Fortified with calcium and vitamins – and oats also contain fibres, called beta-glucans.
Hope this was helpful! Any questions or concerns, please let us know.
Love,
Åsa at Oatly

Hi! Just wanted to respond to this. I had gestational diabetes when I was pregnant and unfortunately, the sugar and carb content in the full Oatly was much too high and my blood sugars really spiked after drinking it, so I had to quit it. I could eat bread but not drink Oatly. That said, I am now going to they the no sugar variant, because while it contains almost as much carbs, the sugar content is zero so it takes your body a bit more time to turn it into sugar and that hopefully helps maintaining a stable blood sugar. (Not pregnant anymore so no gestational diabetes, but I'm trying to get pregnant again and it's important to watch my blood sugar levels)
