    Didn't even know rice cakes were still a thing :D
    They were hot in the 80's and 90's.

    As a type 2 Diabetic, I can tell you Carbs are just sugar waiting to happen. But Rice cakes aren't terribly loaded with them compared to many grain/bread products.

    I hope you know the GI on rice cakes are extremely high and the body metabolizes into glucose regardless.....in terms of being a diabetic.

    I had to explain rice cakes to my teenager. lol However, in all seriousness, if you like it eat it, if not then don't. If there is something you like more, go for it.

    He doesn't appear to be eating them in isolation (from his description -- I haven't looked at his diary), so I don't think the glycemic index of the rice cakes on their own is all that important.
