does poha increase sugar level - #24154
I am really worried about my sugar levels lately. I was in my doctor's office last week, and after doing some tests, he mentioned my blood sugar was a bit high. I've been eating poha for breakfast almost every other day, thinking it's a healthy option. But now I’m starting to wonder, does poha increase sugar level? I mean, it’s just flattened rice, right? I’ve seen some info online saying it’s good for digestion and all, but what if it spikes my sugars? Last Sunday, I had poha with veggies and thought I was being smart. But then I felt a bit off afterward. Shouldn't I be more careful? My cousin told me it’s low glycemic, but then I read somewhere else that certain types of rice can really do a number on glucose levels. Like I ain't getting clarity here! I just really want to find healthy breakfast options that won't hurt my sugar. Does poha increase sugar level or am I worrying too much? Thanks for any insights!
