Regular consumption of white rice was associated with higher risk of T2D, whereas brown rice intake was associated with lower risk. Replacing white rice intake with the same amount of brown rice or whole grains was associated with a lower risk. These associations were independent of lifestyle and dietary risk factors for T2D, as well as ethnicity.
there is no doubt that rice is source of carbohydrates, and therefore can be an explainationation of diabetes outcome, but in all cases it's probably the excess of consumption and also the excess of side meals as sauces, fats, meats and so on.

Rice contain carbohydrates which the body break down in to sugar and send it along to the blood stream. As daibetic's pancreas can not produce enough insulin or none at all. So blood sugar level remains high. But the conscept is related to amount of rice being cosumed as well as other sugar containing foods.

Eating more brown rice and cutting back on white rice may reduce your risk of diabetes, a new study reports. White rice may also contribute to diabetes risk because it causes blood-sugar levels to rise more rapidly than brown rice does. (This is known as having a higher glycemic index.)
Eating white rice regularly, as is commonly done in many Asian countries, may increase risk for developing type 2 diabetes.The more servings of white rice a person eats per day, the greater their risk for developing type 2 diabetes, the form of diabetes most closely linked to obesity.
White rice ranks high on the glycemic index, which means it can cause a sudden spike in blood sugar levels. White rice is also low in fiber that can help lower the risk for developing diabetes, Sun says.
Rice is high in carbohydrates and would eventually lead to increase in blood sugar levels.
In normal population GLP1 mediated release of insulin will lead to normalization of sugar levels after a meal. but since diabetic patients lack such mechanism, therefore, therefore there will be no compensation for elevated glucose levels. So rice and other carbohydrate rich foods are recommended to avoid.
