^"Reducing blood sugar levels in people with diabetes when oat
   bran is used in the diet. Eating oats and oat bran for 6 weeks
   significantly decreases before-meal blood sugar, 24-hour blood
   sugar, and insulin levels in people with type 2 diabetes. There
   is some evidence that consuming 50 grams of oat bran daily,
   containing 25 grams of soluble fiber, might be more effective
   than the moderate fiber diet of 24 grams daily recommended by
   the American Diabetes Association. "

   So says WebMD. I just had some. Tasty. But: Those weird numbers?
   50 grams? 25 grams? Didn't find that anyplace on the box or
   online. There's 8 grams of fiber per 1/2 cup (50 oz) not 25. But
   was that 1/2 cup prepared or raw? Unnecessarily confusing.

   So one serving a day for 50 grams? 1/2 a cup raw = 2 cups
   cooked. Or does it mean 25g total soluable which would be
   25/8=about 3 1/2 cup raw a day or single servings?

   That one seems the most likely. But a quick look online showed
   I'm not alone in my labeling confusion. So I'll go with: Any
   beats none. And I'm guessing that 3 bowls a day will lower your
   blood sugar numbers. And, according to one web site, "Cracklin'
   Oat Bran" as an alternative to straight up Oat Bran, amounts to
   Cookies in a Bowl, contributing to one blog writer's Freshman
   20. I don't mind straight up oat-anything in any form, so it's
   no bother. I just have to get into the habit of eating it every
   day. Good habits aren't hard to start, it's just starting
   anything new is annoying at first.^
