In an otherwise healthy adult, no. In diabetics, maybe.
Your body adjusts its insulin production to match the food you're digesting. Diabetics need to calibrate this manually, which is error prone as there's more variables than just what you ate (stress, sleep, hormone cycles, prior meals...).
The problematic aspect of foods with large amounts of easily digested carbohydrates is that the immediate demands for insulin are higher which might pose a problem in diabetics (unless they are treating hypoglycemia, in which its desired).

- maccard 2y agoThe first recipe[0] I found has 4g of added sugar per serving of rice, fwiw. That's probably why. [0] https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/99211/perfect-sushi-rice/ https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/99211/perfect-sushi-rice/
- whizzter 2y agoNot surprising since iirc you wash away parts of the normal starch and then add sugar as a binder.
- maxerickson 2y agoYour body produces insulin exactly to stimulate absorption of the increased glucose. Your blood sugar won't stay high if you are healthy, but there is certainly sugar digested from the rice entering the bloodstream.
