you can take rice simply like wheat.rice and wheat have almost equal effect on blood sugar..

What is to be noted is how much we are eating.As you know rice and wheat are high in carbohydrates.Being diabetics our capacity to handle carbohydrates is limited due to problems of low insulin production or insulin resistance.So,reduce carbohydrates to the extent possible,have smaller but more number of meals and add items like boiled sprouts to you meal so that sugar level does not spike suddenly after meals.If you are a non vegetarian you can chicken or fish as they do not require insulin.Point is,you have to work it out your seslf by trial and error and innovation.
