If you were diabetic, tht would, most likely send you to very high bg
spike territory. 1/2 banana is usually more that we can manage and keep
teh bgs in line. Some can handle undercooked, or overcooked oatmeal and
most can't. When I was able to walk decently, I could handle the oatmeal
if I walked a mile after breakfast. without the wlak I hav eha dto give
it up. The banana would be out of the question.

Well, maybe not most, but many have posted their difficulties with
bananas to this newsgroup.

What's "very easy"? What's your one hour post-banana BG reading?

I did NOT say that I drank a banana each morining. I wrote banana + a
scoop of high protein powder, as in PROTEIN.

Add real milk, and you got real fat. ADD, more protein powder and you
got MORE protein than banana.
