I agree with Dr. Shital. Just removing rice from your diet may not be sufficient. You may need to increase fibre in your food and also try and increase exercise. Especially some weight training. But see a doctor before you start.

Sorry to hear about your diabetes! If the blood sugar levels are uncontrolled , best to check with your doctor about change in medication, other drugs or increasing dosage. If one is overweight, losing significant weight may be helpful. If there is no weight loss, then the exercise regime should be changed to a more cardiovascular one. Additionally a dietitian may be consulted for a more detailed meal plan geared towards diabetic patients.
