Is it better to eat pasta or rice for diabetes

Clinically, diabetic patients need to strictly control the intake of carbohydrates, and both pasta and rice are diabetic staple foods, and both need to strictly control the daily intake. Compared with rice and pasta, it is recommended that diabetic patients eat pasta because it is rich in dietary fiber as well as minerals and vitamins, especially it is recommended to eat mixed grain steamed buns, nests, pancakes, whole wheat steamed buns, etc., which can meet the needs of diabetic patients for dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. At the same time, diabetic patients eating mixed grain staple food can increase the intake of dietary fiber, delay the absorption of glucose, facilitate the control of postprandial blood sugar and avoid postprandial blood sugar fluctuations. Rice mainly contains carbohydrates, and other related nutrients are less, so diabetic patients are recommended to eat pasta, especially mixed grain pasta.
