Somebody else also mentioned it,
Type 1 Diabetes, which is the rarer form, is congenital (since birth), irreversible, consists of pancreas' inability to produce insulin which is supposed to drive glucose and amino acids into cells. These patients require daily insulin injections.
Type 2 Diabetes, which is the common form, develops over time (not born with), is reversible, consists of adequate insulin production but inability of cells to intake insulin (thus also the inability to intake glucose and AA efficiently). This is called insulin resistance.
So if your relatives have T1 diabetes and take insulin injections, they won't get elevated blood sugar after eating. But if they have T2 diabetes, they may get elevated blood sugar after eating, depending on what they ate and how.
One thing people are usually unaware of is that insulin is used also to drive amino acids from proteins into the cell, not only glucose (sugar). If you eat a combination of protein + sugar together (i.e. roti with meat, or pulao rice with mutton), your insulin will spike much, much higher than eating either item alone, which in a T2 diabetic will cause elevated blood sugar.
Maybe check with your relatives what they are eating with the rice.
The fiber content in the grains is also involved. Is it whole grain, hulled, germ and bran removed, pearl, etc. Is it white or brown rice? Is it basmati or another variant?
The fiber slows down digestion of sugars, reduces insulin spike.
Other chemicals in/with foods also affect insulin, i.e. beta glucans in oats and barley, vinegar, citric acid and more.
The best way to reverse T2 is by not eating for several hours between meals (ideally 10 hours minimum).

9-10% ... that's the range of professional bodybuilders, and extremely difficult for the common man.This is too complicated topic.Simple thing is keep your body weight low (less then 23 BMI if you are lean OR LOW FAT PERCENT(9-10%) and do more exercise.
Nothing else really matters
