How does the high sugar content of this vanilla rice pudding affect people with diabetes or those monitoring blood sugar?

With 15.7 g of sugars per 100 g, the pudding provides a substantial rapid‑release carbohydrate load, making it unsuitable as a regular snack for diabetics or anyone needing strict blood‑glucose control.
