ALL carbs are processed in the body the same as sugar; which is why counting carbs is a necessity for T1D's. The one and only day my 6 year old son had the best blood sugar ever was the day he ate very little to no carbs. Too bad he's a carb-a-holic, :( The point is: rice, whole grains, any breads of any kind - they're all the same as eating pure sugar. Carbs are carbs no matter where they come from.
Anyway.... I wanted to say that, first and foremost, I hope my son sees a cure LONG before he starts dating. But, if he doesn't, I hope whomever he dates takes as much an interest in learning about caring for him as you did. ;)
