I can eat rice as a diabetic. There are no foods that I avoid
altogether and I keep my HbA1c between 5.6 and 5.8.

Some folks are more susceptible in general to spikes than others and
some folks spike with certain foods more than other foods. Being a
diabetic means you really have to know how your body will react to
certain foods and food combos. It can be a lot of work early on, but
understanding it makes you healthier and better able to control BGs.

Moderation in all things works, too.
