Diabetics may also benefit from eating potatoes with the skin on. Potatoes with skin have almost twice the amount of fibre as the flesh by itself. Fiber is important for diabetics because it helps slow the digestion of food, preventing large spikes in blood sugar.
When compared to potatoes, white rice has a similar GI, but lower amounts of magnesium and fiber, two components that are beneficial for diabetic patients. 100 grams of cooked white rice has no dietary fiber and only 8mg of magnesium compared to 1.8g of fiber and 20mg of magnesium in the same amount of boiled potatoes.
