Have you talked to your doctor about trying the Aashrivad? If not, please consult the doctor, first so that you both will be on the same page and safe side so you don’t get sick or worse. No one wants anyone getting sick. 😀👍🌈

It is just wheat flour, probably with some additives. It must be as good as any wheat flour for diabetics. The manufacturer is reputed, so ,you can use it without any extra hopes.

Wheat is in general better than rice. That is what doctor advised me to take at night. I take diabetic rice for lunch.

Its a GM rice whose glycemic index is less than 50. You get this primarily from Bengal/Bangladesh.

Please have a look at the comparison of brown and white rice.

Also have a look at the world map on rice production in my earlier response.

Take care.

People say brown rice is better than white rice. But looking at your report, White rice is better than brown rice

Please try having this rice for 3 months and let us know if this rice has an impact on your HbA1c. By the way, important points to note are the pesticides/insecticides that are used in growing this rice, the way polishing is done, natural variety or genetically modified one.

Rice, the quantity of rice we eat, how many times a day we eat rice and rice products?

The link below gives some information on rice.

Are you wondering, what amylose is? It is a simple concept actually. Basically, there are two types of starch in rice: amylose and amylopectin.

Coming to wheat, the commercial wheat available are mostly Sharbati atta. But there are other varieties available.

1) Sharbati wheat (Triticum aestivum) considered the best for making chapatis.

2) Durum Wheat (Triticum durum) known for its plumpness, appearance, consistency, and hardness used for marking pasta and others.This variety is diabetic friendly. I have personally tried it. My blood sugar does not spike much.

3) Paigambari(Triticum spherococcum) - Popularly known as Sugar Free which is a round shaped dwarf wheat (hexaploid). This variety can be

rightly called the first Indian Wheat as its origins can be traced to the Indus Valley Civilization and was one of the staple food in the Indian subcontinent almost 4000 years ago

4) Emmer wheat: It is an ancient wheat has a unique composition in secondary components, such as starch, which may play a role as functional food ingredients. Because it is rich in fiber, protein, minerals, carotenoids, antioxidant compounds, and vitamins, emmer is a complete protein source when combined with legumes, making emmer bread and pasta ideal for vegetarians or for anyone simply wanting a plant – based high – quality protein source.

5) Outside India, particularly in Mediterranean, you get "Farro" varieties. Farro does not refer to one type of grain. Rather, it's Italian for "ancient wheat grain" and often used to describe three different grains:

Einkorn: Farro piccolo, known scientifically as Triticum monococcum

Emmer: Farro medio, known scientifically as Triticum dicoccum

[mentioned in point 4]

Spelt: Farro grande, known scientifically as Triticum spelta.

These Farro varieties are drought resistant crops and these have low glycemic index.

In my point of view, please try to avoid big commercial brands and try to get organic varieties of wheat mentioned above for your daily use.

Wow. This is excellent information. Thank you so much

[teataster]

It's higer in protein and fiber. It releases starch slowly. Keeping you full longer. A great replacement for normal Atta. As a diabetic I only use this
