Can diabetics eat brown rice everyday?

I used to eat brown rice daily thinking it was totally safe, but my fasting sugar started going up. My doctor told me even brown rice needs to be eaten in small portions. Please get your daily sugar monitored and talk to your doctor before making it a daily habit.

You can, but variety is always better for insulin sensitivity. If you are active and working out daily, your body can handle the carbs in brown rice easily. Just keep the portion size around one small cup and balance it with good protein.

My diabetologist advised against eating any rice daily, even brown rice, as the carb load can still accumulate. She suggested rotating it with millets like ragi or jowar, which have a better impact on long-term glycemic control.

Honestly, cooking brown rice everyday takes way too long when you are running on three hours of sleep. While it is healthier than white rice, eating it daily can still add up the carbs. I'd say keep it to a few times a week unless you really love the taste.
