One other thing, whole grains like rice are slow to digest. So, and extended bolus might help - - especially with brown/black rice. White rice is more processed, so it breaks down a little faster. Portion size really is key here. You have to know how much rice you are eating in order to figure out how many carbs to bolus for. I would start with that, but if you're going high 3 - 4 hours after eating, the extended bolus would be the next thing to try.

Thanks, yes I use to eat 1/2 cup and my bloodsugar didn't spike, but I like rice so much it's hard to cut back and I feel like I'm teasing myself when I do...lol...I'm actually going to try to blend my white rice with some black rice, and see how that works, but I do appreciate the suggestion, if my new plan doesn't work, I will definitely try to find the portion size, so I continually be able to eat it.

Deondra,
Many high glycemic foods can do that.
I really try to look at portion size. Even then, my blood sugar can spike. So I play around with portion sizes until I “ get it right” for me.
For my body, I know 1/4 cup cooked brown rice is just right and it won’t spike my blood sugar. 😊
Good luck!🍀

Thanks for the the tip! I'm a salt and pepper, sometimes with turmeric and/or parsley type girl in my rice, but I know some people like sugar in thier rice...lol

When you think of rice, think of it like bread. We all know white bread raises our blood sugar more and faster than whole wheat. Whit bread has 0.6grams of fiber while whole wheat has 1.9grams. White rice has 0.6grams of fiber while brown rice has 3.6grams. Fiber makes the gut slower to digest so the carbs in brown rice are not released all at once. White rice is best if headed to the gym. I love brown rice with a pack of Splenda in it.

1 serving White rice takes 30-60minutes to digest in the stomach.
1 serving brown rice takes 90minutes to digest in the stomach.
