From: DaveT on 9 Apr 2008 18:02 Found this on rice- http://tinyurl.com/5xw2j6 As Erica said basmati rice has a lower GI and the brow is good because of the vitamins included. I do not know if wild rice is available in the States but I love the stuff. Apparently it is not a true rice, it has a stroger flavour so you do not need as much. The GI can be lowered to help the BG by adding an acidic extra they sujest lemon juice or adding a little olive oil- http://tinyurl.com/4hrjxt -- DaveT T1 Dx 1955 (aged 9) Basal Hypurin Beef Lente Bolus Lispro

I can cope with it in the same vein as buckwheat or spelt - a couple of days' worth is fine, then I seem to switch to being able to metabolise it, and it shoots my bg up. It's not a true rice, but a grass seed - it doesn't matter which of the rices I try, or how I prepare it, rice of any kind, whether basmahti, brown, mixed with lentils, with oil or vinegar, zaps my bg in almost any quantity. I've tried : ) These days, I use grated cauli for the right texture, or maybe courgette ribbons or similar for sauce absorption. I think this adds to my diet, rather than reduces it. Nicky.
