Seeing just how much rice can impact your blood sugar is eye opening. Sticking to a "half the normal amount" of rice when eating Indian/Asian food can help a lot with blood sugar. And keeping blood sugar in check _seems_ to have a fair amount of researching backing up the idea that it's healthier and makes you feel better
- malfist 1mo agoSure it impacts it. But what does that matter? Your body is very efficient as self regulating

- jimbobimbo 1mo agoIt is very efficient until it's not. When it's not, it sucks. You don't have to have full on diabetes to experience the suck.
- RHSeeger 1mo agoIt matters because high blood sugar isn't great for the body (nor is low blood sugar). A normal, non-diabetic's blood sugar might spike to 120/130 after a balanced meal. But that same person's blood sugar might spike up to 160/170 after something carb-heavy. So sure, the body corrects for it - but it would be healthier if it didn't go into that higher range at all.
