Rice has only carbohydrates mainly and for diabetic control, you need to reduce the calory intake in the form of carbohydrates. The essence of diabetic control is to reduce the total daily intake of calories and balance exercises to keep the blood sugar in safe control. You can use the brown rice in very minimal quantity and keep your blood sugar daily monitored at different times of the day and before food is taken.
