[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2252300, member: 451727"] Hi there, I find all rice affects me no matter the colour. You may never find a logical explanation especially where diabetes is concerned but what you do know is that the units of insulin taken were too many for the carbs consumed. I have come across several odd variations in food and so on and have come to the conclusion that you just have to test the foods you eat with the amount of insulin needed for that precise food (which can change as time goes by or if you have exercised just before or run up the stairs or had a row...well you get my drift). It is definitely NOT a precise method counting carbs & matching insulin. I find that the type of carbs makes quite a large difference too, for example 30 carbs of veg tends to require no insulin, 30 carbs of potato does, 30 carbs of rice requires half the amount I would normally have, do you see what I mean? Although there is a rule of thumb for an insulin to carb ratio, I believe it is only that, so all any individual can do is test, test, test and act accordingly. Additionally glucose levels can fall within 30 minutes after eating or an hour or two hours etc, even if you've had the same meal before. x [/QUOTE]
