Title: Chicken Burrito Skillet
Are you sure this is a suitable recipe for diabetics, especially type
1, when they need to calculate insulin dose?
2 tb Olive oil; divided
As far as I know, olive oil should not be used for frying.
1 c Uncooked long grain rice
Rice is tricky for diabetics. It can be difficult to calculate the
insulin dose for it, or rather, there are often errors in the
calculation.

Hey, someone does actually read this echo. I'm not just shouting down
a well.
I must have "fat fingered" that one. It was supposed to go into
"Cooking" as part of my daily 10 recipe posts. <SHRUG>

Why not?
I see it specified from time to time. For myslef I use lard,
suet, shortening, butter, schmaltz or a nice neutral flavour oil like peanut of canola to cook with.

I'm a Type II diabetic so have no experience along those lines.
Right now I am being controlled by diet and exercise. But, I still
monitor my sugar. Last time my docs took me off the meds I found that
my fasting sugars inched up and up and up. Been three months now and
I'm holding to 90 - 105 for fasting (early morning) sticks.
This ain't burritos - but it is chciken:

Yes. But I would like more related to diabetes.

Something going wrong. ;)

It oxidizes too easily when heated and releases harmful free radicals. This can contribute to a variety of diseases, including dementia,
cancer, and cardiovascular disease.

suet, shortening, butter, schmaltz or a nice neutral flavour oil like peanut of canola to cook with.
For frying, I use sunflower oil in small quantities. The exception is eggs. They turn out delicious in butter. It is important to use very little, because the fat is harmful to the pancreas, which is already damaged by diabetes.

Meanwhile, with type II diabetes, it is also important to know exactly
how many carbohydrates you have eaten. In the case of boiled rice, it
is very easy to make a mistake.

May be worth excluding "fast" carbohydrates from the menu, such as bananas, white bread, pasta, sweet drinks and sugar. May be necessary
to reduce your daily carbohydrate intake and avoid fatty foods, such as pork. Diabetes of any type requires careful counting of everything you eat.
This ain't burritos - but it is chicken:
1.5 kilograms of potatoes, finely chopped. 200 grams of mushrooms,
finely chopped. 1 carrot, finely chopped. 800 grams of meatballs or
finely chopped chicken breast.. Mix. One whole onion. Place in a multicooker [ like this https://multicooker.com/uk/catalog/multicookers/smart-multi-cooker-redmo nd-skyc ooker-m92s/ ] and fill with water to the top. Turn on for 45 minutes at 100 degrees Celsius. When ready, throw away the onion.
