Man this is good!
I got this one from my wife. It has become such a staple for me, I felt compelled to share it. Not sure if others already do this. It's basically an oatmeal recipe, but I love it.
Vary this to meet your tastes, but I start with 3/4 cup of oatmeal. Cook it like you would with just water. Don't add sugar, salt, butter, etc. Once cooked, I add 6 dried apricots (sliced), 3 prunes (sliced), 10 pecan halfes (chopped) and about 1/4 cup of milk. 68 grams of carbs. Watching my BG on my continuous meter I get a flux of about 40mg/dl or so. Nice and mild. No spikes. It tastes great! I even eat it for lunch sometimes.
Hope you like it.

68 grams of carbs is alot isn't? That many carbs will take my sugar too far up.

It's on the upper limit, but what I found was that it doesn't spike (at least my) BGs. I get a nice rounded curve that maxes out at about +40mg/dl then works back down to my target.
