Hello, for a patient with diabetes rice is not prohibited, but quantity restriction is necessary. The reason it has high glycemic index, which means it will produce quick rise blood glucose. So it is advised to reduce the intake of all those foods which have high glycemic index. Even your blood sugar levels are high. Ideally fasting should be closer 100 mg and pp should be 150 to 160 mg and hba1c% <7. You may still consume rice both time but quantity should be reduced and daily exercise level should be increased, which will help in better sugar control.
