CHINESE PERSON HERE, BIG THANK YOU! Our diet always contains white rice everyday, every meal. Im so glad you did this to prove that our diet is outdated. Im so sad because congee is on the chopping block. Thanks for all that you do so we dont have to test 100s of items. Gold star ⭐️.
Great information, much appreciated. My 2 cents worth: I am Type 2 and use a Glucose monitor. There is a white rice in the supermarket called "Low GI Rice". I always wash the rice and after cooking eat it with Chicken and vegetables. I usually get a short spike of about 3mmols/L (~55) which from a base of 6 or less keeps me in the safe zone. The spike is short because I suffer from Hyperinsulinemia (too much insulin with Homa-IR of 8) which can makes me hungry again after only 1.5 to 2 hours - so limit my rice meals to just 2 a week.
TypeOneTalks, thank you for the work and research for diabetics. I appreciate the dedication to health and your sharing the side by side comparisons on your channel. Cheers. 🎉👏🙏
I really like Asian cooking. I find it much easier to get lots of vegetables in ways I enjoy this way. Rice was always the problem, so I created my own version of Cauliflower Fried Rice. With generous amounts of bell peppers, onions, water chestnuts and seasonings, it goes great with my stir fries and doesn't touch my blood sugar. I also intend to look into Shiritaki Rice soon.
A trick with cauliflower rice is to first bake it in a tray (smooth grains over tray) for 10-20 minutes (200c) then stir fry for extra rice like texture.
There is another guy on YT that does the same thing testing different foods. The rice cooling method did nothing for him. So I guess it depends on your body.
Thanks for the video. A better way to prepare rice is. I use basmati rice, in addition to wash to remove excess Strachan, is to boil the rice until it is about 80% cooked and then add salt and some oil and steam it for 15 to 20 or more depending on amount. Lmk how that works for you.
Just a correction: you have to discard the water after you cook the rice and then add a table spoon water and steam it on range top or better in the oven at 375F.
❤ EXCELLENT INFORMATION MATE , SUBSCRIBED I HV always wondered I am glutton intolerant & also sugar intolerant I do not hv diabetes I do really try to eat as healthy as I can 😊😁🥰😍🤩Tk u
Such a great share! I was always very aware of the usual rice options and stayed far away, then fell head over heels for cauliflower and broccoli rice, which are so very useful for almost any dish. However, I did try Lupini Rice (by Aviate) which, surprisingly, didn't do too bad with blood sugar impact. The biggest issue is cooking, it can be a little tricky and can boil over if not careful. Makes a great rice pudding and can use the same as cauliflower and broccoli rice. Calories are not super great with Lupini, so I'll watch serving sizes and how often it's consumed.
The wild rice was a mix include what looked like resotto rice. The thin long dark rice in the mix was the wild rice. 100% Wild rice is super expensive at around 30 euro's per KG.
If you cool down in the fridge overnight or even freeze your rice or pasta or potatoes after cooking it, some of the starch in the rice/pasta/potatoes will turn into resistant starch overnight and won't spike your bloodsugar as much. Then you just reheat it normally and its much more managable. Don't use cauliflower rice when you're craving rice, for God's sake. Just prepare normal, white rice beforehand and then reheat it. BTW, YES you have to put it in the fridge or freezer to turn some of the starches in the portion into resistant starch. You can't simply let it cool down in room temperature and wait for it to "get cold". It needs to go in the fridge or freezer overnight.
This advice is misleading at best. While cooling rice, pasta, or potatoes can indeed increase resistant starch content, the impact on blood sugar varies significantly depending on the individual and their metabolic response. The reduction in glycemic impact is often overstated and doesn’t make a dramatic difference for everyone, especially for those with diabetes or insulin resistance. Also, telling people to completely avoid cauliflower rice is unnecessary gatekeeping-some actually prefer it for taste, texture, or dietary reasons. If you crave real rice, eat it. If you want a lower-carb alternative, go for cauliflower rice. No need to be dramatic about it.
I've found that freezing works much better than simply putting my carbs in the fridge. I do this with most carbs, including bread - works amazing. I've had T1 diabetes for 50 years (diagnosed at 12, and am 62 now), and the majority of those years have been without an endo/doctor (no insurance, and self-employed). I pay attention to my body, do a little research, and use common sense! Good luck and health to y'all!!
Yes, it's safe to store leftover rice in the fridge overnight, but there are a few precautions you should take to ensure it stays safe to eat. Cooked rice can contain spores of Bacillus cereus, a bacterium that can cause food poisoning. To minimize the risk: Cool Quickly: Spread the rice out to cool it down more quickly and reduce the time it spends at room temperature. Refrigerate Promptly: Place the cooled rice in the fridge within an hour after cooking. Store Properly: Keep the rice in an airtight container to limit exposure to contaminants. Reheat Thoroughly: When reheating, make sure the rice reaches a temperature of at least 165°F (74°C) to kill any bacteria that may have grown.
yes i always eat jasmine rice and cook them 8 minutes exactly so they are just about prefect. if you over cook rice than notice its bad for my blood sugar. also portion control is very important i can eat no more than 100grams rice and only twice a week
Thanks for this. I love rice, but dread what it does to my blood sugar (I have to hop on the elliptical to knock it down). Another thing you can do it freeze it to change its composition. It seems to help a bit for me.
14:15 min: The best rice for diabetes is Shirataki rice, which stands out for its exceptionally low calorie and carbohydrate content. It is made from konjac yam and has just 30 Kcal per serving of 100g. The downside is that it is bland tasting.
While Shirataki rice is indeed low in calories and carbs, it lacks essential nutrients and fiber compared to whole grains like brown rice or quinoa. For diabetics, a well-balanced diet that includes slow-digesting carbs and fiber might be more beneficial than simply focusing on ultra-low-carb options. Taste is also an important factor-food should be both nutritious and enjoyable!
I tried this in “pasta” form did anyone else have “stomach” issues? I spent most of the next day close to a restroom. I’m going to try the refrigerator thing. Even if it helps just a bit. That’s something right?
@ The ideal method to eating this processed plant fiber as noodles or "rice" is to also mix it with other noodles and rice. If you look into it, the main ingredient is a very powerful absorbent powder that forms a thick, bulky gel when it's exposed to liquids. You'll want to add it to what your already eating to stretch smaller portions into something that's satiating...
I have type 2 and I've been adding chia seeds to up the fiber in my long grain/wild rice mix. For whatever reason, it's the higher fiber that works for my metabolism to minimize the spikes. Then on top of that, starting with the veg, then protein in my meal, seems to keep my glucose in my safe range. I know everyone is different, but I've been testing what works for me without major life changes. I still haven't tried the fridge over night method yet, but it sounds promising.
I tried Shirataki spaghetti for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I used it in a stir fry with mushrooms, ginger, soy sauce, mirin, and it was delicious. Since It isn’t made of flour, like regular pasta, the chew was different… a little rubbery but not in a bad way. The good news is, you can’t overcook it. It DOES NOT get gooey. It remains firm. I’d rather have shirataki spaghetti, then spaghetti squash to use as a substitute for wheat flour pasta.
I have been eating rice since I can remember, at 77 I still eat white Jasmin rice. wash the hell out of it to get whatever it is on the rice. I have a rice bowl made to clean the rice, wash it until all the water runs clean using a soft brush. I cook the rice in the rice cooker ( 1 cup for 40m) let it cool then put it in the fridge overnight, tastes way better esp with some butter. I like to cook it with scrambled eggs. my Latin family always has some type of rice with beans. when I use potatoes, I peel them, cut them up, and let them soak for a few hrs or overnight to get the starch out. Oh, read about freezing bread, some magic there.
It would have been interesting for you to have tried the rice that I eat. Its "Red Bran Rice" Per serving it has 2.5g of fat, 9g of fiber, and 10g of protein. I wash it soak it for a bit then cook it in my instant pot on high for about 22 minutes. I always feel real good after eating it. I use chicken stock with slightly more then a 1:1 ratio
When I eat halal dishes with Basmati rice and some meat for example chicken my blood sugar doesn't spike like regular rice. My theory is it's because of the spices they use like turmeric and cumin. Please let me know if you have had the same experience and if you have reached the same conclusion.
I'm pre-diabetic so I'm working very hard into lowering my numbers. I'm from Puerto Rico where rice is a staple and a must in our kitchen. I have switched to Cauliflower rice and it's not that bad but is not rice, but I won't stop eating it. When my cravings are in full force for rice what I do is I blend Jasmin's brown rice with cauliflower rice. I do a ratio of 1 to 1. I don't do it all the time but again when the rice cravings arise, which is not often then I do this.
Your "hack" for rice (refrigerate) works for pasta too! And microwaving to reheat it improves this property as well, I knew the pasta part but not the rice aspect, Thank you !
Very enjoyable but I was hoping you'd give your verdict on Riceberry, a purple rice which is said to be a healthy alternative here in Thailand. Maybe it counts as red rice? I wasn't convinced by cauliflower rice (!) but I loved the mixed rice with quinoa and the trick of using low-carb veggies like broccoli to lower the blood-sugar spike - thanks!
Have you ever tried cooking rice or potatoes the day before you eat it. Cooling it lowers the glycemic index. I have tried it with potatoes and I did not get a huge spike.
Have you ever tried with your regular insulin (I use the Novolog Pen) the SymlinPen (Pramlintide acetate by AstraZeneca) for me it helps the regular insulin cover my blood sugar much better. I've been on Symlin since 2005 it works well for me. Hopefully I can keep using this pen. Thank you for the great video.
Do you have a video on EVERSENSE (CGM) where the disk is replaced in your upper arm every six months instead of Dexcom 7? I must have missed the video if you made one. Thanks
@@TypeOneTalks i have a type of white rice here in Australia from Sunrise brand, which is labelled as LOW GI rice like the brown rice. I think it will go into your yellow bowl.
Cauliflower rice or shirataki rice are the only ones that make the "green bowl." Usual suspects make the yellow bowl (brown, wild, red, or black). Any white rice is in the red bowl as the worst impact.
I stopped eating rice when finding out it contains high amounts of arsenic. Rice absorbs it from the water and soil more than any other plant. Brown rice has more. Jasmine and basmati has the least if white. Wild rice doesn't have any because it is not a rice, but then it should be 100% wild rice not a mix of regular rice. I just cook a mix of veggies in a wok and add some chick peas or egg. I don't really miss eating rice.
@@TypeOneTalks Around the 5:34 mark you say that all white rice is usually " heavily processed" (sorry to misquote you above - not highly, but "heavily" is the word you used). I think we're all aware that heavily processed foods are best avoided, and I simply had not made the mental connection with white rice being in that category. I had formerly considered only corporate packaged food as "heavily processed" but due to this video I expanded my understanding of what it means, although certainly there is gradation to it as well.
@@madhusudan Thanks for pointing that out. This might have been an overstatement on my site because there are indeed other "foods" that are a lot more processed than white rice...
I refrigerate my white rice for at least 24 hours before reheating and eating it. My blood sugar only went up to 146 from 95. The thing here was that I only had a cup and a half. If had fiber rich vegetables, protein and healthy fat mixed in, I believe this number would have been lower.
I'm just looking at the health benefits of Inulin, a type of soluble fiber. Prebiotic. Blood sugar control. There are a few side effects, but more likely to occur with higher doses of Inulin.
My wholegrain rice I buy contains quinoa, pumpkin and sunflower seeds. Quinoa has a GI of 53. Pumpkin seeds about GI 25. Sunflower seeds about GI 35 The packet is 250g (microwavable) nutrition values as follows per 125g : FAT, 4.3g CARBOHYDRATE, 34.6 of which SUGARS 0.3g. FIBRE, 3.5g PROTEIN, 6.3g Is this good?
Yes, it looked as if I was going low but I applied a sensor just a few hours before filming and it was not 100% accurate (Dexcom always does this to me during the first 6-12 hours). In reality I was not low, I was probably flying somewhere 100-120.
Actually, if you don't eat rice, it's fine, and it might even be better for diabetes. The important thing is whether you're willing to change your mindset.
Thanks for making this. Evidence based and clearly explained. If I had one tiny criticism, it would be not pointing out that the different types of rice represent different stages of factory processing of the same grain, from minimal processing to ultraprocessed.
Several countries, including Australia, have banned the use of konjac in food products due to the high incidence of bowel or throat obstruction. The high soluble fiber content is the root cause (no pun intended) of the problem.
Can someone help me test this breakfast approach out? It helps me maintain a 100% TIR on my Libre sensor and get the tiniest spikes as a T1D. Let's get to the point: "Do I feel like fruit and nuts today?" Here's an example: -Take X grams (depending on how calorie dense and filling you want it to be) of and blended nuts (Almond, Cashew, Walnut, Hazelnut) they have to be whole, and not baked, fried etc. -Whatever fruit you feel like eating, doesn't matter if its sweet or not just fresh and whole. 1banana for ex. , or 200g pumpkin, or 3 Mandarin Oranges, or whatever you feel like -At least 2 full Tbsp Chia seed on top of the fruit. -Add a spoon of Olive oil if you want to boost calories. (I do) -Add some seasoning if you want, like unprocessed cinnamon or cocoa powder. (Mmmm Chocolate) -Add sunflower seed on top if you like . . . Adapt to make yourself feel full! It's important to adapt to your needs. I don't want to overload with info, let's see if it works for you!
I have tried Shirataki and didn't like it at all. It may look like rice, but is too rubbery, doesn't stick to itself or anything else, making sauces or anything you add to it slip right off. Pretty much cauliflower only, sadly, is the only keto option.
I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes 2 years ago, nothings changed, apart from my diet. I'm having red meat, whole grain rice, organic extra virgin olive oil, sauerkraut, 1egg a day, plus s few other things. What I've cut out of my diet are snacks, crisps, cakes, biscuits, ehite bread etc. Now I'll always read the ingredients and shun refined flour and high sugar %.
sorry for the caps....but didn't feel like retyping. WHENEVER I COOK RICE, I PREMIX WATER WITH INULIN AND OAT FIBERS, ONE SOLUABLE, ONE INSOLUABLE...AND AM HOPING this HELPSMY FAMILY EAT BETTER WITHOUT KNOWING WHY, EXACTLY, THEY ARE POOPING BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lowering my fat intake helped a lot with carb intake spike. Walter kempter rice diet is helpful too understand that rice can actually lower blood sugars if done right.

Thanks for your kind post!
The best rice for diabetes, is no rice at all
You're welcome
Have you ever tried with your regular insulin (I use the Novolog Pen) the SymlinPen (Pramlintide acetate by AstraZeneca) for me it helps the regular insulin cover my blood sugar much better. I've been on Symlin since 2005 it works well for me. Hopefully I can keep using this pen. Thank you for the great video.
No, I have not used Symlin before. But thank you for sharing! I will take a look.
I love shirataki noodles. If I eat rice, I only eat brown, whole grain or wild rice, and it always day old and reheated. I am also a type 1.
If you freeze or refrigerate after you cook it it will become resistant starch?😊
Yes, that is the idea, I believe.
Wow, very impressive, it is very helpful information.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Do you have a video on EVERSENSE (CGM) where the disk is replaced in your upper arm every six months instead of Dexcom 7? I must have missed the video if you made one. Thanks
Not yet but it should come out in early March!
très bien , merci
You’re welcome!
At some point will you try ancient grains?
I might:)
im eating Shirataki noodles at the moment. blood sugar friendly
Enjoy!
@@TypeOneTalks i have a type of white rice here in Australia from Sunrise brand, which is labelled as LOW GI rice like the brown rice. I think it will go into your yellow bowl.
Cauliflower rice is delicious, and broccoli rice. Can you do a post on cereals. I have noticed that oatmeal porridge spikes my sugars.
Yes. That's a great idea. I will do that in the future!
Oatmeal definitely spikes my sugar every time!! I purchased Magic Spoon Cereal and will let you know....
@judesummers3229 Omg, I had no idea.
@@judesummers3229 Magic spoon? I will look it up. Thanks.
@@TypeOneTalksPlease add cream of wheat to the list. Thanks.
What's with the LED number panel he zooms in on in his videos? This one was 94 with a rising arrow. Is that his current glucose reading?
Yes. It's SugarPixel.
which is the best rice
Cauliflower rice or shirataki rice are the only ones that make the "green bowl." Usual suspects make the yellow bowl (brown, wild, red, or black). Any white rice is in the red bowl as the worst impact.
I stopped eating rice when finding out it contains high amounts of arsenic. Rice absorbs it from the water and soil more than any other plant. Brown rice has more. Jasmine and basmati has the least if white. Wild rice doesn't have any because it is not a rice, but then it should be 100% wild rice not a mix of regular rice. I just cook a mix of veggies in a wok and add some chick peas or egg. I don't really miss eating rice.
I changed my thinking when you mentioned in passing that white rice is "highly processed".
Could you please elaborate? Thank you !
@@TypeOneTalks Around the 5:34 mark you say that all white rice is usually " heavily processed" (sorry to misquote you above - not highly, but "heavily" is the word you used). I think we're all aware that heavily processed foods are best avoided, and I simply had not made the mental connection with white rice being in that category. I had formerly considered only corporate packaged food as "heavily processed" but due to this video I expanded my understanding of what it means, although certainly there is gradation to it as well.
@@madhusudan Thanks for pointing that out. This might have been an overstatement on my site because there are indeed other "foods" that are a lot more processed than white rice...
I refrigerate my white rice for at least 24 hours before reheating and eating it. My blood sugar only went up to 146 from 95. The thing here was that I only had a cup and a half. If had fiber rich vegetables, protein and healthy fat mixed in, I believe this number would have been lower.
That's excellent! Thanks for sharing this!
I'm still trying to find Spelt and Edamame pastas. Hard to find in my area.
Have you tried looking online?
@TypeOneTalks not yet, but I just found the Edamame pasta locally--couldn't find any black rice or GABA--but will look online.
could Inulin be added to rice for more fiber ?
I do not have experience but you're not the first person bringing it up. I will need to look! Thank you!
I'm just looking at the health benefits of Inulin, a type of soluble fiber.
Prebiotic.
Blood sugar control.
There are a few side effects, but more likely to occur with higher doses of Inulin.
How does Greek dolmas affect your blood sugar?
Does quinoa raise blood sugar as well??
yes
Yes.
My wholegrain rice I buy contains quinoa, pumpkin and sunflower seeds. Quinoa has a GI of 53.
Pumpkin seeds about GI 25.
Sunflower seeds about GI 35
The packet is 250g (microwavable) nutrition values as follows per 125g :
FAT, 4.3g
CARBOHYDRATE, 34.6 of which SUGARS 0.3g.
FIBRE, 3.5g
PROTEIN, 6.3g
Is this good?
Cauliflower rice doesn't spike my sugar. I try to avoid anything else if I'm eating after 6 pm
Eat the rice that you like best but just moderately. Although I eat caulifower, I don't convert it to fake rice.
Thanks for sharing!
Did you try kinmemai, Japanese rice?
No, I haven't. I will need to look into it.
I was watching you're sugar level fall through the floor towards the end of the video. 😁
Yes, it looked as if I was going low but I applied a sensor just a few hours before filming and it was not 100% accurate (Dexcom always does this to me during the first 6-12 hours). In reality I was not low, I was probably flying somewhere 100-120.
Arsenic content is also very important and that is unfortunately much higher in the more unprocessed variants of rice.
What is the portion size?🧐
Whenever I refer to a portion size in this video it is 60 grams of dry dire or approx 180 grams of cooked rice.
Boil and wash rice 3 times and then eat it not too much.
I was recommended to eat wheat fada instead of normal rice. Have you heard of it?
You forgot one kind of rice. Parboiled rice. There are many types of parboiled rice.
8:58 - The heck you mean don't add butter chicken!? Blasphemy!
Actually, if you don't eat rice, it's fine, and it might even be better for diabetes. The important thing is whether you're willing to change your mindset.
Real Japanese rice. I was in Japan and the rice did not spike my BSL.
Oh wow! That's amazing!
Thanks for making this. Evidence based and clearly explained. If I had one tiny criticism, it would be not pointing out that the different types of rice represent different stages of factory processing of the same grain, from minimal processing to ultraprocessed.
what is the answer
Cauliflower rice which is not rice. You'd better just skip rice all together.
Best rice for type2 is no rice
You refer to a „Portion“ and state the amount of carbs per bowl. One „Portion“ equals to how many grams of rice? 100 gr?
60 grams was my portion size.
I avoid anything made from the konjac plant as their have been serious life-threatening side effects from consuming such.
Oh no! Sorry to hear that!
Several countries, including Australia, have banned the use of konjac in food products due to the high incidence of bowel or throat obstruction. The high soluble fiber content is the root cause (no pun intended) of the problem.
bro rice is rice and i just eat the whole vegetable :)
Vegetable is definitely a good option.
Love the Videos, the best Rice is still just nutrient devoid rice, eat meat.
Can someone help me test this breakfast approach out?
It helps me maintain a 100% TIR on my Libre sensor and get the tiniest spikes as a T1D.
Let's get to the point:
"Do I feel like fruit and nuts today?"
Here's an example:
-Take X grams (depending on how calorie dense and filling you want it to be) of and blended nuts (Almond, Cashew, Walnut, Hazelnut) they have to be whole, and not baked, fried etc.
-Whatever fruit you feel like eating, doesn't matter if its sweet or not just fresh and whole. 1banana for ex. , or 200g pumpkin, or 3 Mandarin Oranges, or whatever you feel like
-At least 2 full Tbsp Chia seed on top of the fruit.
-Add a spoon of Olive oil if you want to boost calories. (I do)
-Add some seasoning if you want, like unprocessed cinnamon or cocoa powder. (Mmmm Chocolate)
-Add sunflower seed on top if you like

Adapt to make yourself feel full! It's important to adapt to your needs.
I don't want to overload with info, let's see if it works for you!
Thanks for sharing!
you did not try actual wild rice. Only wild rice mixes.
I have tried Shirataki and didn't like it at all.
It may look like rice, but is too rubbery, doesn't stick to itself or anything else, making sauces or anything you add to it slip right off.
Pretty much cauliflower only, sadly, is the only keto option.
Thanks for sharing. I realize shirataki is not for everyone!
Basmati rice is best
Rice is the worst of all foods for my diabetes next only to eating a bag of sugar.
Parish Rice from Louisiana claims to be better for diabetes. Have u heard of it and tried it?
I haven't tried. I will take a look.
I can't stand konjac. Not only is it rough on my gut, it also has a very rubbery texture.
Sorry to hear that my friend!
I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes 2 years ago, nothings changed, apart from my diet.
I'm having red meat, whole grain rice, organic extra virgin olive oil, sauerkraut, 1egg a day, plus s few other things.
What I've cut out of my diet are snacks, crisps, cakes, biscuits, ehite bread etc.
Now I'll always read the ingredients and shun refined flour and high sugar %.
Thank you for sharing Robert! It’s great to hear you’re taking control of your health.
sorry for the caps....but didn't feel like retyping.
WHENEVER I COOK RICE, I PREMIX WATER WITH INULIN AND OAT FIBERS, ONE SOLUABLE, ONE INSOLUABLE...AND AM HOPING this HELPSMY FAMILY EAT BETTER WITHOUT KNOWING WHY, EXACTLY, THEY ARE POOPING BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for your input my friend!
Lowering my fat intake helped a lot with carb intake spike. Walter kempter rice diet is helpful too understand that rice can actually lower blood sugars if done right.
If I want stable blood sugar rice is the LAST thing I'd be consuming lol
I usually eat brown rice, and I feel my health has improved a lot. Thank you
Only type of rice I eat and will ever eat is cauliflower rice.
Right on!:)
I use basmati rice
Wash it boil it than cook it x
Thank you for sharing my friend!
Wait… there’s actually a GOOD rice for diabetics?! 😱 Who else didn’t know this?
I just eat raw cauliflower... my teeth turn it into rice!
carbs are overrated...carnivore for the win
I must make a video on this topic!
I don't get it. Rice means high carb. That's what gave me diabetes. Cut out carbs and diatebes goes away.
You obviously haven’t researched Dr Walter Kempner’s rice diet for diabetes. Good information if interested
For me, it's all about balance.
Cauliflower rice isn’t rice
Be careful with shirataki. Some people have really bad digestive reactions. Painful.
Have you had your Pancreas checked in those 35 years?
Not sure what you mean. Could you please elaborate?
Cauliflower rice is vegetable not rice really.your body needs carbohydrate protein fat and vitamins.cauliflower is not rice so dont fool yourself.
