Hi Morgan

Rice has a lot of carbbohydrates, ad if it is a daily part of yoru diet then your in apatern, but rice is also very good for you. I can understand the hunger part, but is it hunger or a craving?

Are you Type1 and insuli dependent or Type 2? That helps alot because some fo the diets are slightly differnt sometimes, but not all the times.

When your still hungry, what are your blood sugar levels? Are they low because of insufficiant carbohydrate because of the normal regiment of the quantity of rice? Could be a number of things. If your low and that is why your hungry still, it is because you got a bit of a imballance in the food/drug/activity ratio we all have to do.

I'm gald you sahred this with us and hope we can help and please know you can talk about anythign you want to on the blogs and all of us here in this community have been there or like to hear how you handled it and is also a place to blow of some steam because we all understand what your going through.

Hope to hear more of your blogs.

I wish you well

I looked at your profile to see if you had more information on your condition. First thing you should do here is post your questions in the Expert Q&A section and state your basic information on your condition. There are very knowledgeable experts who will be able to help with your questions.

One bit of bad news, diabetes can not be cured, however it can be managed and controlled. That usually involves medication, monitoring/testing, exercise, and a dietary plan.

When I was last at my diabetes class the dietitian was discussing cultural and ethnic variations in carbohydrate intake levels. She stated that when designing a plan for Asian and Hispanic patients she increases the amount of carbohydrates in their plan to adjust for their dietary preferences.

I would recommend having your doctor refer you to a dietitian and diabetics management classes.

Best wishes, and all the best to you and yours.

Hey Morgan,

I agree with the other commenters, and I just wanted to give you this link to the dLife food and nutrition articles. Maybe you'll find something useful in there that can help you?
