I came across two contradictory articles one says consuming oats shoot up sugar level after prolonged use other says oats can help reduce sugar.
Which is true? What is relation between oats and sugar? Being diabetic can I consume oats regularly?

It all depends on how you have the oats and in combination with which foods.
Daliya is an alternative to oats which is more healthier. If you need to have oats restrict the frequency and quantity and include some veggies along with it.

Its not like that it mainly depends how you are taking the oats

With veggies the situation is different
