White Rice For Diabetes:
Many diabetic patients fear eating white rice because they think it will increase their sugar levels. It’s a common concern, especially in India where rice is a staple food. Doctors often recommend alternatives like millets or brown rice. However, some health experts now say that even white rice can be eaten safely by following a small, simple tip.

White Rice For Diabetes:
For those who feel full only after eating rice, giving it up completely can be tough. That’s why this new method is helpful. According to doctors, soaking white rice in water before cooking can reduce its glycemic index, which means it will release sugar slowly into the blood.

How to do it?
Wash the rice well with clean water and soak it for at least 30 minutes to 2 hours before cooking. After soaking, cook the rice and drain the starch water (ganji). This method helps in reducing sugar spikes after meals. Once the rice is cooked and cooled down, it becomes even more diabetic-friendly.

Extra tip:
Doctors also say that if you keep a few spoons of rice from your dinner aside and mix it with a little curd and milk overnight, then eat that mixture in the morning — it can help control both blood sugar and blood pressure levels.

Many people make a common mistake by cooking rice quickly without soaking it, either in a pressure cooker or rice cooker. But this doesn’t allow the starch to break down properly, which can cause sugar levels to rise. Soaking rice is not time-consuming if planned in advance, and it can make a big difference in health.

So, instead of completely avoiding white rice, diabetic patients can follow this method to enjoy their meals without guilt. However, it’s always best to consult your doctor before changing your food habits.
