Bread Vs Rice

Hi,

It comes to my information from someone diabetic (no meds only diet)that his 2 hour readings with rice (approx 30 carbs/ 100gm/ 1 cup) is pretty much in normal range whereas with a slice of multigrain Bread it would be around Pre-diabetic range.

Would it be an unnoticed early /late spike?

Carbs are carbs and GI of both is pretty much the same?

Does rice get absorbed in a more gradual manner in some compared to bread?

Similar experiences? Advises?

Thanks Guys, so this also may imply following;

A) Insulin resistance is somewhat relative to the nature of the food / meal and not the carb content or GI or GL

B) Intensity of Insulin resistance cannot be determined by spike with a carb content in a similar GI food.

C) Ditto as A&B for insulin response and production.

In layman terms, bread spiks may indicate 50% loss of pancreatic insulin production ability whereas rice may indicate mild and vice-versa for both insulin resistance, sensitivity etc.

Am I making sense? What about all the carb counting / limiting methods, I more carbs on one food keeps you good and less carbs on other spikes you how can one possibly determine the portion in carb terms?

If it was white rice that is usually digested very fast - so the spike from it could be long gone by 2 hours

If someone returns to normal range in 2 hours, despite the interim spike, would that not be considered normal person's body response to clearing carbs /glucose from blood within 2 hours?
