Diabetic but love rice? This tip can be helpful
For type-2 diabetics, rice in moderation is suggested. Portion control works. Variate rice with non-starchy veggies, and pulses.
Brown, wild, and long-grain white rice have more fibre, nutrients, and vitamins than short-grained white rice.
Cook the rice and then cool it for a while. This helps in creating resistant starch.
Resistant starch from cooking, cooling and reheating helps ferment food in your large intestine, boosting your overall gut health.
Resistant starch in diet helps control insulin, leading to improved blood sugar levels.
Healthier Basmati or brown rice have a lower glycemic index.
If you still want to eat safe, you may try alternatives in rolled and steel-cut oats, barley, Bulgur wheat, quinoa, millet and buckwheat
