Brown Rice suddenly started raising my blood sugar level after it's included in my diet for a while?

[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1407571, member: 41816"] Hi and welcome! Can I ask if you are pre-diabetic? Your profile doesn't say. And are you on any medication? Yes, viruses, infections and other illnesses can raise blood glucose, but (my experience is) that usually results in generally higher blood glucose levels throughout the day, rather than specific peaks after certain foods. Other people may have different experiences. :) Insulin resistance varies quite a lot, partly depending on carb intake in the days preceding, but also affected by exercise, so you may have a few variables going on that affect your readings. Regarding the rice... I have two foods that raise my blood glucose disproportionately high. They are wheat (in any form) and rice. Other grains spike me less, then starchy root veg less again. I think it comes back to our personal bodies, and our personal immune systems. My body seems to have developed an intolerance to wheat and rice. Of course, I can't even speculate whether that has happened to you. I seem to tolerate them better if I only have them occasionally. But I do think that eating the same foods long term, day after day, is not a great idea in terms of nutrition and variety. Could you swap the rice for other things for a while? Quinoa, buckwheat, lentils, bulgar wheat, are all possible alternatives. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
