Can diabetic patients eat black rice porridge?

Patient's question:

Since I got diabetes, I feel very tired and easily. No matter how much I eat, I still feel hungry. However, due to diabetes, I cannot eat many things. Can people with diabetes eat black rice porridge?

Doctor's answer:

After diabetes, you should try to eat less congee and black rice, but you should pay attention to eating less. What you should eat on a daily basis should be dry rather than liquid, coarse rather than fine. People with diabetes are prone to experiencing physical fatigue, so they should pay attention to resting and avoid overexertion. They should pay attention to protein intake, eat less high-sugar foods, and exercise every day. This is because they are easier to digest and absorb, which can easily lead to high and rapid blood sugar spikes. The main principle of diabetic diet is to control food intake.
