Edith— this is a followup to our dialogue about resistant starches. This is a good site for information. Rice is a starch for sure, white particularly. But, the process of cooking makes it resistant to digestion. Cook it cool it and even reheated it retains its resistant starch characteristics. Some foods will become resistant starch when cooked but if reheated, they loose those characteristics. Brown rice, wild rice or a blend is a better choice because your body has to work harder to digest/metabolize it. Thus, less glucose spike. Read up on the science. I’m glad you are enjoying the learning process. I’m also really glad you were able to get the Freestyle Libra. Now you can easily track how different foods affect your BS quickly with any needle sticks. I think you will find it a life changer. I’m anxious to get your feedback.
