How do carbs impact my blood sugar?

During digestion, the starches and sugars in carb-containing foods are broken down. How quickly the body breaks them down (and how many are actually absorbed) depends on the food. Your body converts most carbs into glucose, a simple sugar. Glucose is absorbed into your bloodstream, where it is shuttled to cells and tissues as a source of energy. Extra glucose is stored in muscles and the liver. The body closely regulates blood sugar to ensure it has a constant supply of fuel. When blood glucose rises after a meal, the pancreas releases insulin into the blood. Insulin acts as a key, unlocking cells and allowing glucose to enter. When blood sugar is low, another hormone—glucagon—replenishes levels by releasing stored glucose from the liver. When you have diabetes, either the pancreas produces little or no insulin, or the cells don't respond when insulin comes knocking. If cells are unable to use glucose efficiently, blood sugar stays elevated and the body has trouble accessing its main fuel source.


Is sugar found in rice?

sugar, as in white powdery processed sugar? none. sugar as in energy or carbs? then it depends on the serving size. There is carbs, which your body converts to sugar/energy. It is low compared to most all carbs. It is a good idea to look up rice on wikipedia.org Sugars are not all created equal and the nutritional information labels are very misleading and not accurate. Sugar in rice is not the same as sugar in a can of soda.
