I have had this battle with my MD for years. I eat Basmati Rice for years almost every meal. For some reason it has very little effect on my Blood Sugar. Ran several test 2 or 4 hours after eating . Blood sugar goes up depending what I eat at same level with or without Rice. Dr. now agrees with me. Been a diabetic for over 15 years. A1C now at 6.5 with Trulicity. Was at 7.5 without Trulicity. Not overly active and 72 years old.
I’m on Trulicity too. My blood sugar is in the 90s to low 100s. My A1C is 6.7. I eat a lot of carbs, especially rice and potatoes. However, I have diabetic neuropathy. My blood sugar and A1C may be okay, but not so much with the neuropathy pain. The higher the carbs I eat the more pain I have in both legs and feet. I’ll do my best to eat less carbs but it’s not going to be easy.
I was about to buy brown rice tomorrow but just saw what you said about Pearl Barley and saw how much carbs it has per portion, amazing, thank you very much
I love ❣️ rice, but I recently "discovered" cauliflower rice and I totally love it especially with chicken 🍗 or fish 🐠 and other veggies and I can feel the difference in my body.
@Krystal My Cauliflower rice is not exactly rice, but it is still pretty good. Because it lacks starch, the texture is slightly different than rice. Cauliflower has a very mildly distinct taste on its own, so it takes on the flavor of whatever you pair it with, so it is a pretty perfect substitute for rice. I always buy the frozen bags. I have made it myself in the past, but that was a big hassle to me.
@@Tes7000 Agreeing with Lauren Cantrelle Lifestyle and with Tes7000. I've been using cauliflower rice (it's just essentially grated cauliflower, so it tastes like and has the texture of cauliflower) for over half a year. It does not taste exactly like rice, it does not have the same mouth feel as rice, but once you make it into something--I like doing cauliflower fried rice) you can hardly tell the difference. I purchase it pre-packaged in my grocery store's frozen vegetables section (Aldi in the USA is good for it).
I use the cauliflower rice with curries and enjoy that. In the past I have eaten buckwheat which has a lively nutty taste and a GI of between 30 and 35. It was great when added to mushrooms, onion and herbs like parsley and dill, sometimes with sprinkle of paprika. Good at breakfast as well with a poached egg on top.
I am so happy I found your channel. I love every video so far. I am recuperating from a bad case of Covid and 8 days in the hospital. Now dealing with high glucose and educating myself to bring it back down. I was pre-diabetic before all this, but the numbers are now horrible. You are a great teacher, easy to understand. God bless you and keep you healthy and strong. Hugs from SE Florida
This sounds great but I can’t eat things like Pearl barley or quinoa as I also have ulcerative colitis. So many things that could help my blood sugars I can’t eat!
Great video. In our part of the world, rice is boiled until it is little soft, and then strained, thereby extracting a lot of starch from the rice. Only then it is put on the table..
I am Cuban so you can imagine how difficult it was to give up rice. But when I faced the choice between health or taste, I opted for health and I never looked back. I haven’t had carbs, sugars, or dairy for almost two years. It is easier than your think. I substitute carbs for cauliflower.
I cannot thank you enough for your knowledge regarding food and diabetes.....I am newly diagnosed, and not feeling well at all....I am eating well, and making better choices thanks to you....huge hugs and thank you from N.S Canada
@@grumpyinbrooklyn6347 Unfortunately I cannot eat Cauliflower as I have to be on the low FODMAP diet as well as coping with diabetes. So I occasionally have quinoa.
Type 1 diabetic, I love rice! I did switch to brown rice which doesn't seem to spike my blood sugar like white rice. I am definitely going to try these substitutions you've shared. Last night I tried a cauliflower flower crust pizza and it was delicious! It was nice to enjoy something I really love to eat and it not spike my blood sugar So happy I found your channel

Thanks sooooo much for your explanations concercing diabetes, which helped me so much. Since a long time I am eating low carb, now intermittent fasting, taking supplements in good quality, sport regularly and I am so happy, my blood sugar went down. Keep on your good work, which is educating so many people with diabetes (me included). Here in Germany you can't find a doctor, which really has a good and solid knowledge of diabetes. Greetings from Germany
You're a top, top dude: knowlegeable, wise and brimming with personality which enhances your videos. Going to search for shirataki rice. Thank you for sharing.
Glad to know this. I don't care for brown rice and white rice is my worse enemy when it comes to diabetes, but have tried quinoa and riced cauliflower. I actually enjoy them.
OMG, brown rice with butter, salt and soy sauce, and parmesan cheese. Love it! I haven't eaten it in over a year and my A1C is down from 7.3 to 6.1. BOOM!
its usually the excessive consumption of carbs, and the combination of fat and alot of carbs that cause most of the problems in people. to us asians, fried rice would be the most common obesogenic thing. that thing is just so easy to overeat. it hacks into your brain, stimulating a strong dopamine response. it doesnt give much satiety as leptin isnt produced much in the presence of fat and carbs together. its also good to understand the randle cycle. fat and carbs compete with each others oxidation, raising blood sugar and triglycerides simultaneously. add to that the fact that carbs stimulate insulin, which would shove the fat into your fats cells, and inhibit fat burning. i assume butter with alot of rice would also have a strong obesogenic effect.
One can go for Basmati rice, the long grain rice which has low Glycaemic Index. Either one can prepare Chicken Biryani or Vegetable Biryani with Basmati Rice.
A study in England years ago showed that if you cook, then completely cool and reheat pasta, it creates resistant starch and doesn't affect blood sugar as much. The studies were also promising for rice and potatoes. I tried that and both my husband T2D and myself, pretty diabetic, had good results.
Interesting study. Tamils hailing from South Asia have for hundreds of years used “pulungal arisi” or par-boiled rice to cook rice. The paddy grains before removing the husk are boiled, dried and de-husked to get rice grains. Not all bran is removed so it is more rich in vitamins. Then these are packed and sold. The process probably does the cooking and cooling process before being sold. Probably also the boiling before removing the husk and bran infuses the nutrients into the rice. The rice takes longer to cook and digest. Usually it is also cooked with more water and strained before serving.
I'm addicted to cauliflower rice. I actually just ate lunch with steak and vegetables stir fry over a bed of cauliflower rice and it was fantastic. Great videos you do. Thank you.
Thanks Doctor sugar MD. Am not a diabetic, but i try my best to eat healthy food. Quinoa and organic basmati rice i used, but my intake of rice is small. I eat more peas and vegetables no snacks. Ur videos hv been an inspiration in my life; my family said i listen to videos on health, and i am picky. if anyone offer me anything i don't take it, because am allergic to wheat. Ido appreciate ur video's and i do share it; also tell family and friends.
Thank you @doloreswinsbarrow1110 for the comment! I appreciate it! Please feel free to share this content with more people for them also enjoy and learn. Also please check out my new video video here: th-cam.com/video/WuD0lmuUBa8/w-d-xo.html
I read about a study done in the UK where they discovered that if you cool pasta, rice or potatoes the starch component is drastically reduce and if you reheat the reduction is increased even more by 50 percent. The starch is changed into resistant starch which takes much longer to be processed. I've tried it with pasta and instead of a huge spike it only goes up to about 125 on the glucose meter, and since I've been intermittent fasting for around 2 years, I'm always normal by the next morning. it's been a while since I read the study so I can't remember the details, but it seems to work.
I’m not diabetic but can’t eat much wheat so am familiar with a lot of alternatives to rice (which I can eat with wild abandon since it doesn’t do anything to me, but I need variety to avoid developing new allergies!). But adjusting your idea of what is a normal portion would seem to be the best way to reduce glycemic load, which is what matters. Ignore the package recommendations. Think of half a cup as a normal portion rather than 1 cup or more, 1 or 1.5 ounces dry rather than 2 ounces. And eat along with low glycemic foods like beans with a lot of fiber which will slow down digestion. Also just testing yourself can tell you which combinations of foods and portions really spike your blood sugar and keep it up there longer than you want. Millet is relatively low on the glycemic index scale, no worse than brown rice and maybe better. And it cooks up just as fast as white rice (same cooking instructions). It is also very tasty. It is a whole grain and like rice it is gluten free. Teff is another one that has a lower glycemic index than brown rice. Tiny little seeds but you can also buy the flour. Can make a porridge from the seeds but the flour also makes wonderful crackers and flatbreads/tortillas. Very popular in Ethiopia for that purpose (injera). Gluten free as well. Sorghum is about the same or sometimes lower than brown rice on the glycemic index scale, depending on variety and form. It can be used like corn. Unfortunately popped sorghum (which is delicious, looks like tiny popcorn for Barbie dolls) is higher.... But corn (maize) also has a lower glycemic index than brown rice, including popped. Both sorghum and corn are also gluten free. Barley is very tasty although not gluten free. But don’t forget about gluten-free buckwheat, which seems to be about in the same category as far as glycemic index is concerned. Buckwheat groats are available to use like rice or as a porridge. I was able to buy them even decades ago in regular grocery stores, but had to look in the “international” section or where you find things for traditional Jewish cooking like matzo. You can check out buckwheat noodles and pasta to see if any are suitable for you. I like the flat 100% buckwheat noodles or ones mixed with sweet potato etc. (often in the Japanese soba category). Orgran has good buckwheat blend pastas. And firmer pasta has a lower glycemic index, so try al dente cooking. Might be worth looking at gluten free pastas in general that are blends of various foods, including beans and lentils. You can check for their glycemic index on the web by using the keyword “glycemic index” plus the name of the product. Also check out rice pastas that include rice bran, that might bring them to at least the brown rice category (and they tend to be tasty and hold up well in cooking).
For breakfast I mix pearl barley, quinoa, lentils, oats,brown rice, and chicken peas with either a little honey and mixed berries with cranberries. Or the grains with tomatoes, green chilies, and hot sauce.

I switched to black rice & seems to help me. I eat it with mostly veg & egg omelette with cabbage. I stick to small portions like 2-3 tablespoons & lots of different kinds of veg. Portion control helps. After each time I have some food, I don’t sit back relax. I make it a habit to stand or go for 15-20 walk to help me settle my food. I usually feel better afterwards.

this is what i do, im mostly low carb/ keto but if i eat a little more carbs i walk long. I know it helps me , im reversed diabetes working towards remission
I make an olive oil vinaigrette with gerkin vinegar and mix it in the rice. Vinegar will dampen the GI response. Plus i also have protein with the meal which will change the overall GI. Just avoid naked carbs.
I am not a diabetic and want to avoid becoming one, so I switched to a low carb lifestyle 2 years ago. I consume no more than 50 net carbs a day and have lost 94 pounds, no longer have gastrointestinal distress, and even those white bumps around my eyes that are caused by high cholesterol have disappeared (without medication). The solution to our obesity problem starts with a diet devoid of inflammatory, highly-processed, high carbs foods.
I love rice. I've had brown rice and cauliflower rice, but I don't like it. So I don't eat my beloved rice. Once in a while I'll have a couple of spoonful of rice at dinner time. Love your videos.
I’ve been eating a bowl of rice in the morning with my breakfast. Lately I’ve been eating Korean style breakfasts in the morning for the last month. My blood sugar has been low between 120 - 134. I’ve been eating Banchans or an egg on my rice with paprika and black pepper. I’m active too For exercise I work with the weight machines, aerobics, and walking I have become more vegan too. I eat a little chicken and fish. I cut out soda And consume more water, or lemon water
Dr. Ergin, Only 2 days ago I went at Healthy Planet to buy a few supplements and I also bought a packet of Konjac rice #35 and made some egg fried rice; it tasted very good. Today I returned to the store and bought 2 packets and made some shrimp fried rice and it was very D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S! Thank you Dr. Ergin for letting us know about this rice; it's a wonderful and satiating rice that does not spike my blood glucose. Thank you sir and God bless🙏🌹
Thanks to you I’m finally getting my diabetes under control. Please don’t stop the videos the information you provide is very helpful. Mahalo from Hawaii ah hui ho until we meet again or chat...lol
I normally soak all types of grains over night & try to reduce alot of starch. I don't eat large portions. However, I discovered it aren't about the carbs... it appears it is just my body system. Thank you for your precious information.
Sir at first I want to tell you are very honest to talking about your small compition.... 😂 I'm from India and my English is not so good if I'm doing some mistake plz forgive me for that But your video is really helpful to me my husband is diabetic patient..and he like rice..so I'm definitely choosing one of them....so thank you so much
I bought some of the “miracle” noodles, and my daughter got upset when she found out. She told me it’s made from the Japanese konjac plant. She lived in Taiwan, and was warned by the locals to eat it very sparingly. She said it can cause terrible constipation and abdominal pain. Well, I’d already eaten a good sized serving….let me tell you, I won’t eat it again! I had purchased two packages, and threw the second one away. Another example of “If it sounds too good to be true….” Also, the texture was a little like chewing rubber bands. 🥵
I tried shirataki noodles years ago and found the texture absolutely disgusting. I saw a video years ago in which the shirataki noodles were dry fried first to improve the consistency, but I haven't tried it yet.
Oh you poor thing. Exactly right, if its too good to be true..... Cauliflower rice would do that to me. Brassicas are notorious for triggering gut cramps.
I’m now one of your subscriber and thank you for sharing this video. I will always watch your next video and follow your advice. Stay safe and God bless to you and family.
I love hearts of palm spaghetti and I make large pizza crusts with riced cauliflower, Parmesan and eggs and lots of seasoning and bake in the oven then cut into smaller pieces and use as bread. I love it.
Thank dr. I soak basmati rice over night after washing . And before cooking I boil it to cook 95% then I drain all water and rinse it again and add some water and seasoning accordingly and re cook it .let on for 30 min low heat . Then I eat it . My day has diabetic 30 years . And everyday for luch he has rice with something on it . His blood sugar is the same. Ofcourse he is on pills . But rice is better for him then bread . Bread is worst! Thanks again!
We in the Maldives eat rice for lunch and eat rice for dinner. I am going to translate the information in this video into my language, Dhivehi (if you give permission). This helped a lot. Thanks a million.

I found the texture of shirataki noodles to be really disgusting when I tried them years ago. I saw a video on TH-cam in which the noodles were dry fried first to improve the texture. I haven't tried it myself yet, so I can't say if they actually became edible.
Hi doctor..thanks for the info..Im also diabetic and im taking metformin..I love rice so when i saw this video about shirataki rice..its great news..can i eat this one even if im on Metformin? Thanks in advance..
Today I tested positive for HPV after having a horrible outbreak, and feel the same way you describe in your interview. Listening to you share your overcome experience gave me the glim of hope I needed to hear. I am glad to that there is people like you out there who just want to help other people who are struggling with the same issues. Your words gave me the courage I need to hear today to know that it's okay. I can still be Myself and now I am enjoying my life the way I am supposed to. it is a blessing I come across your channel Dr Pius Ozigbe..
🤣 The title says the video will tell you how to eat rice…and then goes on to tell you NOT to eat rice! And how to eat other things that are not rice! Glad I’m not diabetic or overweight. That said, I love your videos, Dr. Ergin, and I know you are educating a lot more people than just your patients. You’re teaching healthy people how to stay healthy, too. You are a true healer and humanitarian. ❤
I am type 2, back on Trulicity, so addicted to risotto. My doctor had me switch to brown over Arborio. Thanks to Gordon Ramsey, addicted! Can’t stick myself all day. Sometimes takes 5 sticks for a reading so just going to check A1C
Try using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) so that you don't have to constantly stick your fingers. Waiting for A1C tests could be hazardous to your health by missing out on timely critical information that glucose monitoring can reveal.
Heart of palm spaghetti is very nice, the secret at cooking it is add a little of garlic powder test very nice and does not feel like you are eating a vegetable “pasta”
Another not 'substitute' but real rice is Basmati Rice with GI of 50 to 58 ... It is a very qualitatif and tasteful rice ... And when you cook it , put it back in the fridge and let it cool down, so it will let the starches to reorganise itself in the rice and lower the GI even more ...

Thank you for the information. I'm trying to keep the diabetes, heart disease, and cancer away, and of course loose some weight. I had cancer over five years ago now, and since was told that I was prediabetic, blood pressure problems due to anxiety, but still need to keep under control. I do feel that a proper diet can give the edge when keeping disease away. Thank you for the barley, quinoa, miracle rice food tip.
I love rice. Anytime I want to eat a bowl of rice, I add extra virgin olive oil, flaxseed, chia seeds, almonds, mackrel or tuna, brocoli, garlic, and I feel fine after meal. I try to always add good fat, proteins and fibers to any food with a high GI and I also walk for 30min after meal and I don't feel tired after anymore. Best regards.
Ha,ha Doctor, I’m the 1% who doesn’t eat rice coz was tested allergic to it, however it was interesting for my husband as he is diabetic and l now know about the pearl barley 😀 thank you for all your podcasts very interesting!!!
Uncle Ben's Converted Brown Rice is 20 on the GI and the White is 22 GI. For someone who only eats rice if I'm having beans and rice 1 or 2x a month, because I'm not a rice eater other than that, that's better than the Quinoa and it's an alternative for people who like rice.
I watched a video that showed how rice that was refrigerated lowered the glycemic index to below 30. He was checking for spikes in the blood sugar. I think it was 28 actually.
@@sunshine2049 true.. But it spiked higher than 30. So it was considered to still spike.. But the did reduce after refrigeration. I think it was in the high 30s.. I can not remember exactly.
Uncle Ben's Rice? Wild Rice is good. Very high nutritional factor. One cup and 1/4 is about the right amount I eat. I walk around a lot and do cleaning, mop, and other things.
Yes he is very handsome.and no I never liked rice I live on home made soups and salads.i was a pre diabetic and refused to take a pill I'm now down to 5.4 5.5 a little higher in the morning so I dont eat until lunch time.its hard but anyone can do it and it does not happen over night.
Tottenham north London uk Love your you tube, I've also bought Japanese protein noodles, and used them for spaghetti, they are also tasteless, smells slightly fishy, so rinse before use. No carbs, low fat.
Hello I live in England too..what's the name of Japanese protein noodles you use? I've been using the mung bean noodles bought from Chinese shops. They're bland but I cook it with lots of sauces and spices
How about eating lentils before eating rice? It seems to help me. I read about it in a research paper online. I am not officially diabetic (fasting glucose about 85) but I bought a glucose meter and my after meal glucose spikes up if I am not careful.
@@bernardtan1 not necessarily a non diabetic BG can still spike depending on what they eat their blood sugars will naturally go down without any help with medication
@@Aviator168 I have. I like it. In soup. That's it, though. Don't use it in much else. Tried to replace it for real pasta. Completely unsatisfying. Here's the thing. For me, low carb all week, may-be a small portion of real rice with dinner, now and then. The week-end is when I cheat. And not always, but that's when I indulge. And then I go back to eating low carb for the rest of week. To me, denying yourself the foods you love, like pasta and rice forms a very unhealthy relationship with food and can lead to "falling off the wagon", so to speak. For many being that restrictive can lead to failure. You should be able to indulge in your guilty pleasures on occasion. Just don't make it a habit every day and you can maintain staying healthy. OTOH I know a lot of people don't mind giving up carbs. Or have to give up carbs because it causes major health issues when they consume it. But for those that don't experience inflammation or bone and joint pain, I think it's okay to gratify your tastes now and then.
I roast my rice on the Presto Pizza cooker. I toss with olive oil and spice after cooking. Replaces patatoes for my Sunday morning breakfast. Also. works for broccoli and brussel sprouts.

For those who just cant stop eating rice, perhaps can switch to basmati rice? (since its like 50-58gi). And consume at a decent proportion.

Your A1C would be lower if you cut the rice.
Check your blood sugar at 1 hour. Sometimes waiting 2 hours doesn't show the true spike.
I’m on Trulicity too. My blood sugar is in the 90s to low 100s. My A1C is 6.7. I eat a lot of carbs, especially rice and potatoes. However, I have diabetic neuropathy. My blood sugar and A1C may be okay, but not so much with the neuropathy pain. The higher the carbs I eat the more pain I have in both legs and feet.

I use the cauliflower rice with curries and enjoy that.
In the past I have eaten buckwheat which has a lively nutty taste and a GI of between 30 and 35.
It was great when added to mushrooms, onion and herbs like parsley and dill, sometimes with sprinkle of paprika. Good at breakfast as well with a poached egg on top.

It is difficult for Hispanics to avoid rice, however, Quinoa and cauliflower rice are the best substitute.
Quinoa has same amount of sugar as a can of Soda. do your research.
@@edalma434 thanks! Will do
@@edalma434 Quinoa has a much lower glyceamic index/load than rice though.
@@sarahstrong7174 Quinoa is not good enough by long shot if you are diabetic. Cauliflower works amazingly well, though.
@@grumpyinbrooklyn6347 Unfortunately I cannot eat Cauliflower as I have to be on the low FODMAP diet as well as coping with diabetes. So I occasionally have quinoa.
Type 1 diabetic, I love rice! I did switch to brown rice which doesn't seem to spike my blood sugar like white rice. I am definitely going to try these substitutions you've shared. Last night I tried a cauliflower flower crust pizza and it was delicious! It was nice to enjoy something I really love to eat and it not spike my blood sugar
So happy I found your channel

Thanks sooooo much for your explanations concercing diabetes, which helped me so much. Since a long time I am eating low carb, now intermittent fasting, taking supplements in good quality, sport regularly and I am so happy, my blood sugar went down.
Keep on your good work, which is educating so many people with diabetes (me included). Here in Germany you can't find a doctor, which really has a good and solid knowledge of diabetes.
Greetings from Germany
You're a top, top dude: knowlegeable, wise and brimming with personality which enhances your videos. Going to search for shirataki rice. Thank you for sharing.
I just tried barley in place of rice with a spicey & saucy prawn dish, it worked!
Glad to know this. I don't care for brown rice and white rice is my worse enemy when it comes to diabetes, but have tried quinoa and riced cauliflower. I actually enjoy them.

I have read that wild rice and specifically black rice are much better than white or brown. I used black rice for a special occasion meal.
OMG, brown rice with butter, salt and soy sauce, and parmesan cheese. Love it! I haven't eaten it in over a year and my A1C is down from 7.3 to 6.1. BOOM!
Use the no soy soy sauce, way better
its usually the excessive consumption of carbs, and the combination of fat and alot of carbs that cause most of the problems in people. to us asians, fried rice would be the most common obesogenic thing. that thing is just so easy to overeat. it hacks into your brain, stimulating a strong dopamine response. it doesnt give much satiety as leptin isnt produced much in the presence of fat and carbs together. its also good to understand the randle cycle. fat and carbs compete with each others oxidation, raising blood sugar and triglycerides simultaneously. add to that the fact that carbs stimulate insulin, which would shove the fat into your fats cells, and inhibit fat burning.
i assume butter with alot of rice would also have a strong obesogenic effect.
@@skinnydee1886 My numbers are good. I'd advise eating low carb.
A blood sugar of 6.1 is still too high.
@@scamdem1c my question to is can you eat any carb or small amount of rice on low carb? Thanks
One can go for Basmati rice, the long grain rice which has low Glycaemic Index.
Either one can prepare Chicken Biryani or Vegetable Biryani with Basmati Rice.
Any type of basmati rice? Please explain
My heart, I get a kick out of you ! Thank you for your teaching.
A study in England years ago showed that if you cook, then completely cool and reheat pasta, it creates resistant starch and doesn't affect blood sugar as much. The studies were also promising for rice and potatoes. I tried that and both my husband T2D and myself, pretty diabetic, had good results.
Interesting study. Tamils hailing from South Asia have for hundreds of years used “pulungal arisi” or par-boiled rice to cook rice. The paddy grains before removing the husk are boiled, dried and de-husked to get rice grains. Not all bran is removed so it is more rich in vitamins. Then these are packed and sold. The process probably does the cooking and cooling process before being sold. Probably also the boiling before removing the husk and bran infuses the nutrients into the rice. The rice takes longer to cook and digest. Usually it is also cooked with more water and strained before serving.
do you cook rice, refrigerate it and reheat and eat ? this is good to know thank you
Can we reheat using the microwave?!
I'm addicted to cauliflower rice. I actually just ate lunch with steak and vegetables stir fry over a bed of cauliflower rice and it was fantastic. Great videos you do. Thank you.
Born and raised here in Hawaii. It’s all about rice here. 😂. Thank you again Doctor for a very good video.
Thanks Doctor sugar MD.
Am not a diabetic, but i try my best to eat healthy food.
Quinoa and organic basmati rice i used, but my intake of rice is small.
I eat more peas and vegetables no snacks.
Ur videos hv been an inspiration in my life; my family said i listen to videos on health, and i am picky. if anyone offer me anything i don't take it, because am allergic to wheat. Ido appreciate ur video's and i do share it; also tell family and friends.

I read about a study done in the UK where they discovered that if you cool pasta, rice or potatoes the starch component is drastically reduce and if you reheat the reduction is increased even more by 50 percent. The starch is changed into resistant starch which takes much longer to be processed. I've tried it with pasta and instead of a huge spike it only goes up to about 125 on the glucose meter, and since I've been intermittent fasting for around 2 years, I'm always normal by the next morning. it's been a while since I read the study so I can't remember the details, but it seems to work.
as a dietitian we advise patients to never eat hot starchy meals, always cool it down
I read this article only last week From England..very interesting about the potatoes.
@@hugoskucek Would you happen to have a link to that article? TIA!
That's what I just told in the comment I heard that too is it really work I hope so I always keep my bread in the freezer eat rice after being cooked
Exactly right.cant go any where thats safe, thank you God bless you
Same to you! Very welcome, I'm happy it helps you
I’m not diabetic but can’t eat much wheat so am familiar with a lot of alternatives to rice (which I can eat with wild abandon since it doesn’t do anything to me, but I need variety to avoid developing new allergies!).
But adjusting your idea of what is a normal portion would seem to be the best way to reduce glycemic load, which is what matters. Ignore the package recommendations. Think of half a cup as a normal portion rather than 1 cup or more, 1 or 1.5 ounces dry rather than 2 ounces. And eat along with low glycemic foods like beans with a lot of fiber which will slow down digestion.
Also just testing yourself can tell you which combinations of foods and portions really spike your blood sugar and keep it up there longer than you want.
Millet is relatively low on the glycemic index scale, no worse than brown rice and maybe better. And it cooks up just as fast as white rice (same cooking instructions). It is also very tasty. It is a whole grain and like rice it is gluten free.
Teff is another one that has a lower glycemic index than brown rice. Tiny little seeds but you can also buy the flour. Can make a porridge from the seeds but the flour also makes wonderful crackers and flatbreads/tortillas. Very popular in Ethiopia for that purpose (injera). Gluten free as well.
Sorghum is about the same or sometimes lower than brown rice on the glycemic index scale, depending on variety and form. It can be used like corn. Unfortunately popped sorghum (which is delicious, looks like tiny popcorn for Barbie dolls) is higher.... But corn (maize) also has a lower glycemic index than brown rice, including popped. Both sorghum and corn are also gluten free.
Barley is very tasty although not gluten free. But don’t forget about gluten-free buckwheat, which seems to be about in the same category as far as glycemic index is concerned. Buckwheat groats are available to use like rice or as a porridge. I was able to buy them even decades ago in regular grocery stores, but had to look in the “international” section or where you find things for traditional Jewish cooking like matzo. You can check out buckwheat noodles and pasta to see if any are suitable for you. I like the flat 100% buckwheat noodles or ones mixed with sweet potato etc. (often in the Japanese soba category). Orgran has good buckwheat blend pastas. And firmer pasta has a lower glycemic index, so try al dente cooking.
Might be worth looking at gluten free pastas in general that are blends of various foods, including beans and lentils. You can check for their glycemic index on the web by using the keyword “glycemic index” plus the name of the product. Also check out rice pastas that include rice bran, that might bring them to at least the brown rice category (and they tend to be tasty and hold up well in cooking).
For breakfast I mix pearl barley, quinoa, lentils, oats,brown rice, and chicken peas with either a little honey and mixed berries with cranberries. Or the grains with tomatoes, green chilies, and hot sauce.

I switched to black rice & seems to help me. I eat it with mostly veg & egg omelette with cabbage. I stick to small portions like 2-3 tablespoons & lots of different kinds of veg. Portion control helps. After each time I have some food, I don’t sit back relax. I make it a habit to stand or go for 15-20 walk to help me settle my food. I usually feel better afterwards.

How can I get black rice
@@MahubiriPrMmbaga try your local supermarket. I’m fortunate our local farmers produce them.
this is what i do, im mostly low carb/ keto but if i eat a little more carbs i walk long. I know it helps me , im reversed diabetes working towards remission
I make an olive oil vinaigrette with gerkin vinegar and mix it in the rice. Vinegar will dampen the GI response. Plus i also have protein with the meal which will change the overall GI. Just avoid naked carbs.
I am not a diabetic and want to avoid becoming one, so I switched to a low carb lifestyle 2 years ago. I consume no more than 50 net carbs a day and have lost 94 pounds, no longer have gastrointestinal distress, and even those white bumps around my eyes that are caused by high cholesterol have disappeared (without medication). The solution to our obesity problem starts with a diet devoid of inflammatory, highly-processed, high carbs foods.
Thank you so much for this informative video. I do not have diabetes, but it runs in my family so I am very aware and try to educate myself.
I love rice. I've had brown rice and cauliflower rice, but I don't like it. So I don't eat my beloved rice. Once in a while I'll have a couple of spoonful of rice at dinner time. Love your videos.
Its amazing the gross things people will put in their mouths to substitute. Like you, just go without and eat sparingly occasionally.
I’ve been eating a bowl of rice in the morning with my breakfast.
Lately I’ve been eating Korean style breakfasts in the morning for the last month.
My blood sugar has been low between 120 - 134. I’ve been eating Banchans or an egg on my rice with paprika and black pepper.
I’m active too
For exercise I work with the weight machines, aerobics, and walking
I have become more vegan too.
I eat a little chicken and fish.
I cut out soda
And consume more water, or lemon water
Riced cauliflower! Yes ! Curry and rice is now back on the menu 😋
Hope you enjoy
Dr. Ergin,
Only 2 days ago I went at Healthy Planet to buy a few supplements and I also bought a packet of Konjac rice #35 and made some egg fried rice; it tasted very good. Today I returned to the store and bought 2 packets and made some shrimp fried rice and it was very D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S!
Thank you Dr. Ergin for letting us know about this rice; it's a wonderful and satiating rice that does not spike my blood glucose.
Thank you sir and God bless🙏🌹
Thanks Doc I love rice and have cut it out of my diet. Going to try some of your recommendations. Your awesome 👍🏼!

I bought some of the “miracle” noodles, and my daughter got upset when she found out. She told me it’s made from the Japanese konjac plant. She lived in Taiwan, and was warned by the locals to eat it very sparingly. She said it can cause terrible constipation and abdominal pain. Well, I’d already eaten a good sized serving….let me tell you, I won’t eat it again! I had purchased two packages, and threw the second one away. Another example of “If it sounds too good to be true….” Also, the texture was a little like chewing rubber bands. 🥵
I tried shirataki noodles years ago and found the texture absolutely disgusting. I saw a video years ago in which the shirataki noodles were dry fried first to improve the consistency, but I haven't tried it yet.
Oh you poor thing. Exactly right, if its too good to be true.....
Cauliflower rice would do that to me. Brassicas are notorious for triggering gut cramps.
I hate those miracle noodles. They are bland and need seasoning.
I've tried Konjac products. No issue with side effects but I found it very tasteless.

I watched a video that showed how rice that was refrigerated lowered the glycemic index to below 30. He was checking for spikes in the blood sugar. I think it was 28 actually.
Same for potato’s Cold potato have a lower gi.
Resistant starch it’s called
@@sunshine2049 true.. But it spiked higher than 30. So it was considered to still spike.. But the did reduce after refrigeration. I think it was in the high 30s.. I can not remember exactly.

How about eating lentils before eating rice? It seems to help me. I read about it in a research paper online. I am not officially diabetic (fasting glucose about 85) but I bought a glucose meter and my after meal glucose spikes up if I am not careful.
Lentils are great for diabetics and non diabetics. Regular white rice isn’t
If your glucose spikes after eating then you surely are diabetic.

Nothing can replace real rice. I tried the shirataki rice. Feh.
⁰⁰⁰.
Try the noodle form.
@@Aviator168 I have. I like it. In soup. That's it, though. Don't use it in much else. Tried to replace it for real pasta. Completely unsatisfying. Here's the thing. For me, low carb all week, may-be a small portion of real rice with dinner, now and then. The week-end is when I cheat. And not always, but that's when I indulge. And then I go back to eating low carb for the rest of week. To me, denying yourself the foods you love, like pasta and rice forms a very unhealthy relationship with food and can lead to "falling off the wagon", so to speak. For many being that restrictive can lead to failure. You should be able to indulge in your guilty pleasures on occasion. Just don't make it a habit every day and you can maintain staying healthy. OTOH I know a lot of people don't mind giving up carbs. Or have to give up carbs because it causes major health issues when they consume it. But for those that don't experience inflammation or bone and joint pain, I think it's okay to gratify your tastes now and then.
