Does whole grain rice do anything weird to BG?? As in does it digest super fast or normally, or super slow?? Anybody know??
In our experience white rice is super fast, and brown is less fast but still a bit fast--something similar to a baked potato for us.
As long as the portion is not too large in comparison to the rest of the meal we don't have too much trouble. We try to keep the "diabetic plate" with 1/4 bread/starch, 1/2 veggies, and 1/4 protein so that would be about half as much rice as veggies.

Thanks!! Aidan had about a 1/2 cup of brown rice, 1 1/2 cup broccoli and som grilled chicken. I was just wondering what to expect with the rice! So far so good!!
