Regarding eating rice

Question

Asked for Male, 38 Years

My mother (67 years old) has diabetes since last 1 year. Usually for diabetics, rice is not allowed. So she usually eats chapati. However, whenever she eats chapatis, she gets hungry at unusual times, has severe constipation and is unable to sleep at night. Is it fine for her to eat smaller portions of rice everyday? Or can she eat little rice and a couple of chapatis? Please advise.
