Ray, the oatmeal would not be so bad. I would put milk on it because i can't imagine it would be good with water. For the tortillas, corn is not very good because of the amount of starch and glucose in them, You can get the whole wheat tortillas which are really not too bad at all. See, I haven't changed, still the same old party pooper i have always been!

For me, both those foods are too carby to eat on an everyday basis. Milk has carbs, too.

La Tortilla factory makes a very good low-carb tortilla that I sometimes eat in the place of bread. 10 grams with 7 grams of fiber, so the carbs don't cause a big spike.

I haven't tried oatmeal yet and have trouble with flour tortillas. If you take fiber with them, it might help.

I was surprised to learn that skim milk has more carbs than whole.

I also use almond or soy milk on cereal and find it surprisingly good. You can also add some brown sugar Splenda and maybe a sprinkle of raisins, with no milk. That gives it a lot of flavor. I used to eat it that way before diabetes.

oatmeal is the better of the two choices..I use about a 1/2 cup of skim milk in mine, pretty much all I need
