Staying on Track: Can Diabetics Have Brown Rice?

Hello! Brown rice can be a part of a balanced diet for people with diabetes. It's a whole grain that provides fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Just remember to keep an eye on portion sizes, as it does contain carbohydrates. A serving size is typically about 1/3 cup cooked.
Great question! Whole grains like brown rice can help slow down the absorption of glucose, reducing blood sugar spikes. Using brown rice in combination with lean proteins and veggies makes for a nutritious, diabetes-friendly meal.
Many people with diabetes worry about including grains in their diet. However, when consumed in moderation and balanced with other nutrients, whole grains can contribute to better blood sugar management. Just be mindful of your total carb intake for the day.
