Individuals with high blood sugar can moderately consume brown rice. Although brown rice contains a relatively high amount of starch, moderate intake has minimal impact on blood glucose levels. It is important for individuals with elevated blood sugar to pay special attention to dietary management in daily life—specifically, limiting or avoiding foods with a high glycemic index, such as chocolate, candy, preserved fruits, and honey.
