Are there various degrees of diabetes?
Some of my relatives, who are diabetic, eat rice (it's glycemic index is high) everyday. Nothing happens to them. Their blood sugar levels doesn't increase considerably. Only negligible increase is seen in them despite eating something like rice.
Some diabetic people eat low glycemic index millets yet their sugar levels increase. They have to take insulin injection.
Why such variations in response to foodstuffs?
The relatives in question eat single cooked white rice (not even the brown variety that's high in fiber). The white rice they eat is so fresh that it is still warm from single cooking. Still no appreciable change is seen in their sugar levels. Why then, have they been diagnosed with diabetes by doctors?
