Assuming you are type two then the calories are nothing to worry about. The carbs from rice cakes, spaced out, may fit your routine but it depends how your team wish you to balance your control and what, if at all, carb intake they want you to have. As a snack, rice cakes tend to have lower carbs than many but, check your variables.
"Team"? I have T2 and have no team. My GP is uninterested and I have never seen a DSN let alone an endocrinologist. I am certainly not alone in my experience. This can be the same, at times, for some T2s on insulin therapy. Generally speaking we are are given the EatWell Plate spiel and left to our own devices.
Testing teaches us that foods higher in carbs (especially highly refined carbs) are a poor choice both for bg levels and for insulin resistance.
Well your GP needs reported for being a useless ect.
You do you.
I speak from my how rice cakes work well for my granddad when balancing his carb intake.
But each to their own.

May I ask if your Grandfather has T1 or T2? Insulin resistance makes all the difference here. If one has T2 then it is highly likely that one also has hyperinsulinemia which means that lowering the frequency of insulin responses throughout the day would be a wise course of action.
But I didn't talk about my t1 did I? I spoke about how the food MAY work for this type 2. It may not. It does for my granddad. ( he eats carbs at every meal and never rises above 5.5 because we control his carb intake and then the fat ect ) It might not for others. Every diabetic needs to find their own way,But you are type 1 and op is newly diagnosed type 2.... if this is the other way around you know what the reaction would be ..?
I have to agree with thisI tried them along time ago, was like eating styrofoam.
High in carbs, so I'd say no.
Cheese or pork rinds or some nuts or similar choices would be better imo.
Does he inject insulin too?he eats carbs at every meal and never rises above 5.5 because we control his carb intake and then the fat
No. My grandfather's type 2 is controlled with set amounts of carbs at each meal .You and I have debated this before and agreed to disagree. I think we should do that here before we tumble into another disagreement.Does he inject insulin too?
So what medication is he on?No. My grandfather's type 2 is controlled with set amounts of carbs at each meal .You and I have debated this before and agreed to disagree. I think we should do that here before we tumble into another disagreement.
Assuming you are T2I’m still waiting to see my dietician. So eating stuff in moderation, yes I’ve least weight but my question is are rice cakes ok to eat, I have 3 a day as a snack at work, I used to have monkey nuts but because they are very high in calories thought the cakes would be better as I’m trying to lose weight
I asked you to respect the fact that we will not agree. That was not an invitation to ask me about his treatment as you attacked me about that previously. Please drop it.So what medication is he on?
We expect him to need insulin eventually.I do not understand. If Granddad has been tested for hyperinsulinemia (how was this done btw, clamp, assay or c-peptide?) and found not to be overproducing insulin then how come he has T2? Unless he has suffered beta cell dysfunction/death which would signal a lack of insulin production which would have become clear in the results. This is a genuine question. If he is not producing insulin enough to cover normal amounts of carbs then eventually he may need insulin as the aging process itself will play a part.
