If you are pre-diabetic or have type II diabetes you'll know that eating white rice is a problem because of it's high glycemic index. Diabetics who do eat white rice will feel lethargic & sleepy. In countries where people eat white rice the incidence of type II diabetes is very high e.g. Indonesia, Spore, Malaysia,....
Some people have changed to eating red/brown rice because these type of rices have a lower lower glycemic index.
Even if you don't have diabetes eating a low GI rice will help you avoid getting diabetes in the long run.
If you are looking for the rice with the lowest glycemic index, take a look at basmathi rice(GI less than 55}. Some here may know that nasi bryani is made using basmathi rice. When I went to the NTUC the only basmathi they carried was a brand named Acenuwara. It is a red basmathi rice. It is sold in 907gm bags for $6.50
