When you say grains do you mean rice ect?
Not lentils pearl barley and split peas they are alright aren't they.?
It depends how they affect your sugars, I can't have any of those, basically they are starch, which is just another form of sugar. Don't worry about the cauliflower, I do mine in the microwave for about 10 mins until soft, add butter and cream and mash with salt and pepper. Makes a great sub for mashed potato. My partner, who isn't diabetic, now asks for it to be done this way! As far as the cauli rice, use grating disc in food processor or a box grater to get rice 'grains', then you can cook as desired, either plain boiled, or as fried 'rice'.
Any kind of grain you can think of isn't good for diabetics, ie wheat, oats, rice, quinoa etc. A very interesting book to read is 'Wheat Belly' by Dr William Davis.
