For diabetics, if you can choose between pasta and rice, the two main staples, it is best to choose rice, because for the Chinese, most pasta belongs to refined noodles, which are more easily absorbed, but the undesirable result is that the patient’s blood sugar fluctuations will be more pronounced, because many refined noodles belong to the very typical high glycemic index of food. For this reason, pasta for diabetic patients should not eat as much as possible, except in rare cases, such as buckwheat noodles, such pasta can be eaten, because this pasta belongs to the typical coarse fiber, coarse grains. Although rice is also a carbohydrate, but the impact on blood sugar fluctuations will not be so great, unless the rice is cooked into porridge, such a form certainly can not eat, rice cooked and stirred to cool a bit, can prompt the rice starch into resistant starch, it is not easy to be immediately absorbed, not easy to quickly raise blood sugar, so in most cases, rice is more conducive to the control of diabetes compared with pasta.
