Instructions: Whole grains appear to influence carbohydrate metabolism and improve glycemic control when consumed by subjects with diabetes.

Recent epidemiological studies found that consuming whole-grain foods may reduce the risk for developing Type 2 Diabetes by 21 percent to 27 percent.

When shopping for whole grains, look for the words that indicate that whole grains were used in the product. For example, look for "100 percent whole wheat" or any other grain like oats, rice, barley, bulgar or corn.

Dont be fooled by products that are brown in color but do not contain whole grains. In some cases, caramel coloring is used along with a mixture of whole grain and refined grains. Read the label. The ingredient list can tell you whether or not the product is what you are looking for.
