How to Choose Rice for Diabetes
People with diabetes can definitely include rice in their diet. However, the choice of rice is important for diabetes. When choosing rice, go for the less processed brown rice over white. Choose organic as mush as possible because many products are genetically modified to reduce its GI. There is a wide variety of organic rice which you can find in the market, where, in their natural, unmodified and unprocessed state are already qualified to be eaten as a sensible food for diabetics.
It is also important to take note of portion size when it comes to eating rice. Rice, as with all other form of staple, can be dangerous for diabetes because it is easy to overeat and end up having more than 1 portion. Make sure you stick to 1 serving only. 1 serving is equivalent to half cup of uncooked rice, which is around 90 grams. As rice doubles in rice when cooked, 1 cup of cooked rice (around 190 grams) makes 1 serving.
