does poha increase blood sugar - #23945

Anna

I am really puzzled about something! I love having poha for breakfast, but I’ve been keeping an eye on my blood sugar since my doctor mentioned that I might be pre-diabetic last month. I’ve cut down on a lot of carbs and stuff but, honestly, I can't resist that fluffy, spiced poha! 😩 The other day, I had a particularly big serving, and then I felt kind of off afterward. Like, my energy dipped and it was super weird. I’m just wondering, does poha increase blood sugar? I read somewhere that rice can spike blood sugar levels, but I thought poha was different since it's flattened rice... but now I'm doubting myself. Could it really be affecting my levels that much? Also, should I be pairing it with something, like protein or fiber, to balance it out? Or maybe I should just let it go altogether? If there are alternatives, I’m all ears! I just want to make sure I’m doing the right thing here. Thanks for any advice!
