Rice Could Spare Diabetics Daily Injections
AFP

May 14, 2003 — Japanese laboratories have developed rice plants that could free serious diabetes patients from regular insulin injections by promoting their own bodies' production of the key hormone, researchers said Wednesday.

The genetically-modified rice was developed jointly by the National Institute of Agrobiological Sciences (NIAS), private-sector Japan Paper Industries and Sanwa Kagaku Research Institute.

Rice is a complex carbohydrate, and belongs to low glycemic index foods (55 or less), with high fiber content, characteristics that help persons with diabetes lower blood glucose levels. When eaten in moderation (within the percentage level prescribed), rice is safe to eat. One need only observe portion size per meal and total calorie intake per day. Brown rice is better than white rice. The variety of rice may be identical, but milling removes the husk from the grain and turns the brown rice to white. The white rice that most of us eat is comprised mostly of carbohydrates, with the nutrients stripped off in the milling process. Brown rice has 349 percent more fiber, 203 percent more Vitamin E, 185 percent more B6, and 219 percent more magnesium. With 19 percent more protein, brown is more balanced. We can therefore say that rice does not cause diabetes and that diabetics can eat rice, provided it fits into the total daily carbohydrate requirement, and eaten in moderation.

Answer 5

NO.

No carbohydrate is actually bad for a diabetic unless the appropriate amount of insulin is NOT given to compensate for it.

Every person needs carbohydrates and rice is a good carbohydrate. Uncooked/raw rice has more carbohydrates than cooked rice. Cooked rice has about 30g of carbohydrates for 1 cup of rice.

If you are a type 1 diabetic who eats rice, then you need to count the carbohydrates and give yourself the correct amount of insulin.

If you are a type 2 diabetic than avoiding large servings of rice will help you keep your blood glucose at a normal level without the assistance of insulin.

Answer 6

Eating white rice is just as bad as eating white bread for the same reason, they degrade really quickly to glucose (a lot more quickly than whole wheat since that has to be processed for a much longer time), this causes your blood sugar levels to rise rapidly, which as you know is bad for you.

Now as one person said, it's perfectly fine if you do take the correct amount of insulin needed to use the glucose. If you do opt for eating rice, eat brown rice which is not only nutritionally better for you (has many of the B complex vitamins), it also helps your digestion (because of the fibre) and keeps your sugar levels down.

Hope that helped!

Answer 7

No! They would like to tell you that but it isn't. In countries where they practically live on rice, diabetes is rare. Yahoo! News had an article on vegan diet reverses diabetes symptoms, study finds. "People who ate a low-fat vegan diet, cutting out all meat and dairy, lowered their blood sugar more and lost more weight than people on a standard American Diabetes Association diet, researchers said on Thursday.
Dr Neal Barnard, president of the Physician's Committee for Responsible Medicine , which helped conduct the study told a news conference. After 22 weeks on the diet 43 % of those on the vegan diet lost weight verses the other group who gained.

if you're only eating a little bit of rice and taking insulin or exercising i say it's fine. try brown rice. brown rice is a lot better for diabetics or anyone for that reason. also if you eat vegetables and other healtier foods with it it's ok.

Answer 10

Its a starch with lots of carbs, but if you eat just a serving and count it (as you should) then it's okay. I'm Type 1 and I just adjust my insulin -I try to stick with brown but most chinese take -outs belive brown rice is what you get when you add soy sauce! I make sure (if i'm eating white rice) i'm eating lots of veggies with it, fat and protein helps too. Basicaly what I do is eat a balanced meal when including rice.

Answer 11

Well, eat it in moderation. My brother loves rice, eats it almost everyday. It has a lot of carbs, but you might not realize it. Eat it for lunch at least once or twice a week if you have diabetes. I don't know for sure if it IS bad for diabetics
