What kind of rice can diabetics eat?

My doctor told me I should switch to a different type of rice because of my pre-diabetes. There are so many varieties, so I'm confused. What kind of rice can diabetics safely eat?

Beta, dekho, purane chawal ya brown rice thoda theek rehte hain. Maine suna hai ki white rice se parhez karna chahiye. Lekin apni doctor se pooch lena, unko sabse accha pata hota hai.

Honestly, this rice thing is so confusing! I keep reading conflicting things. My aunt who has diabetes eats brown rice but even then, in very small portions. It feels like everything has sugar in it, it's so stressful to manage.

Namaste. As per ayurvedic principles and what I've learned, whole grains are always better. So, brown rice in moderation, paired with lots of vegetables and some mindful eating, can be good. Listen to your body always.

Beta, chinta mat karo. Maine bahut logon ko dekha hai jo brown rice ya phir red rice khate hain control mein. Pehle toh log sirf white rice khate the, ab toh options bahut hain. Bas portion size ka dhyan rakho aur doctor ki advice follow karo, sab theek rahega.

Bhaiyya, humare gaon mein toh log brown rice khate hain jinko sugar hoti hai. Kehte hain woh dheere dheere pachhta hai. Thoda sa khana chahiye, zyada nahi. Aur sabziyan khoob khaao.

Please don't just blindly follow advice from here, har kisi ka body type alag hota hai. Diabetics ke liye doctor hi best bata sakte hain ki kaunsa chawal sahi hai aur kitni quantity mein. Always consult your doctor.

Yaar, actually brown rice is the best option. I've heard some people even use broken wheat (dalia) instead of rice for some meals. The main thing is to check the glycemic index, jo ki brown rice ka low hota hai.
