My mother is suffering with diabetes. She has been said to limit rice consumption. We're eating white rice in home. However,as we have heard from youtube that brown rice is good for diabetes now we switched to this.Will it make consequences in the future if over consumed?

Female | 50

Brown rice is surely a better option for diabetes than white rice which consists of more fiber and nutrients than brown rice. However, regardless of the kind of rice consumed, overconsumption can result in high blood sugar levels. Be careful to balance the number of portion sizes with other healthy foods like vegetables and lean proteins. If your mother goes through health conditions like drinking more water than usual, using the restroom frequently, or being tired all the time, it is necessary to consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis.

Once you identify a particular food item, you might want to eliminate it from your diet to see if the headaches get better.
