So if you're gonna do rice or you're gonna do pasta, cook it, cool, it, reheat it, that's gonna lower the glycemic index. You can look a whole grains have a much, much better glycemic index. And um, again, working with your dietician, if you have a certain amount of carbs you're allowed per day or whatever it is, I don't get into that. But whole grains are definitely, um, less, they're gonna spike your blood sugar less. And if you eat the carbs, the whole grain carbs with a source of acid, it lowers the glycemic response. Fat and protein, acid fat and protein will lower the glycemic response so that it doesn't spike. So I would do those three things.
