6. White Rice
All refined grains bring too many simple carbohydrates to the table, but white rice is particularly bad for diabetics. A recent study showed that diabetes risk can rise substantially — up to 11% — for every daily serving of white rice you consume. The problem is that all the fibrous husk has been removed, leaving just the starch, and starch has a major effect on blood sugar.
Jasmine rice and diabetes should not be combined. Brown rice is a good substitute, or better yet, opt for wild rice: lower in sugar and calories, wild rice (which is actually a seed from marsh grass) is packed with an array of wholesome nutrients and minerals without the starch.
The keto diet for diabetics has shown positive results in controlling blood glucose levels. However there are some dangers to consider.
