Patients with diabetes are allowed to eat rice, but rice with mixed grains should be used as the main food for diabetics. The staple food is the main energy-providing substance with a high carbohydrate content, which can easily cause a rise in blood sugar after consumption by diabetic patients. Therefore, if a diabetic patient’s blood sugar rises significantly after consuming staple foods, it is recommended that he or she take the appropriate oral medication to lower his or her blood sugar. Generally, diabetic patients can eat rice, steamed buns, nests and other such staple foods, and the amount of staple foods per meal is controlled at about 2 taels, and the total amount of staple foods should not exceed 5-6 taels per day. Therefore, diabetic patients can increase the variety of food under the premise of controlling the total amount of staple foods, but they must monitor their blood sugar after consumption to avoid blood sugar fluctuations. When diabetic patients consume rice, don’t cook it softly, which will cause the rice to stay in the gastrointestinal tract for a shorter period of time, and the carbohydrates in the rice will be absorbed too quickly, causing the post-meal blood sugar to rise. Pay attention to proper exercise after meals.
