Default About diabetic friendly supplemental drinks

TVP makes a good cooked cereal, too. My SO was told by his doctor to eat
oatmeal for his cholesterol since I screamed so loud about her trying to put
him on statins. His cholesterol isn't really very high but he likes to do
what his doctor tells him. He doesn't like it with milk and sugar. When I
mentioned this elsewhere a fellow said he liked oatmeal made with bouillion.
So what I make is half oatmeal, half TVP with Minor's soup base. They make
a bacon base that he likes. No extra liquid like milk required.

I am really conflicted about the TVP though, some say soy is good, others
say it is bad. It's all so complicated.
