Does rice turn into sugar?

I was told not to eat rice because Im a diabetic is this true?

It does turn into sugar. But not table sugar it turns into "blood sugar". It's your bodies inability to deal with blood sugar that contributes to your diabetes. I am assuming you suffer from type 2 diabetes.

But just know that you need to stay away from simple starches such as white rice, potatoes, and pasta, because your body will break them down very quickly in your digestive tract and flood your blood stream with this "sugar."

Talk to your doctor about the glycemic index which will tell you which foods metabolize to sugar faster in your diet and which ones you can eat more often.

But generally, stay away from any thing that is a "table" sugary sweet or is a highly processed food (white bread, pasta, etc.)
