Rice

I tested a few things with high or low GI and there was so little difference that it was obviously not something which would help me.
I just stick to the low carb foods I have found and liked and that works wonderfully well.
 
GI is whatever you make of it.
The tables are very useful.
(As is GL)

Individual results may vary, but generally refined sugar dissolved in water will be digested faster than chickpeas.
Mashed food will be digested faster than a solid cube of the same food.
For everyone.
So, ignoring "all carbs turn to sugar" if you stick to something that you digest slowly enough to cope with, it's all good.

New to diabetes so will some one tell me why rice is not good for you if you have diabetes?
The rice we have in our cupboard, white basmati, says on the packet that it contains no sugar

Wholegrain basmati is something i would recommend. I used to eat plain jasmine white rice like a champ, but now I have to migrate to the healthy alternatives. Of course you can jazz your meal up with sides such as broccoli and string beans and eggs.
