Does diabetes increase blood sugar by drinking porridge?

Eating porridge may raise blood sugar levels in people with diabetes.

Porridge is a semi-liquid food, and if it is made from rice, it is high in starch and quickly converts to glucose, causing blood sugar to rise. In contrast, cereal porridge, such as brown rice porridge, oatmeal or vegetable porridge, is rich in fiber and slows the rise in blood sugar. No matter what kind of porridge you choose, because porridge is cooked for a long time, nutrients are easy to absorb, and the glycemic index is higher than the crude staple food, so it is not recommended that diabetic patients often drink porridge, so as not to affect blood sugar control.
