What is Low- Glycemic (Quick View) War On Diabetes
The glycemic index, glycaemic index, or GI is a measure of glucose (blood sugar) level increase from carbohydrate
consumption. Foods raise glucose to varying levels. It estimates how
much each gram of available carbohydrate (total carbohydrate minus
fiber) in a food raises a person's blood glucose level following
consumption of the food, relative to consumption of glucose.Glucose has a glycemic index of 100, by definition, and other foods have a lower glycemic index.
Glycemic index is defined for each type of food, independent of the amount of food consumed. Glycemic load accounts for the amount of food consumed and is calculated in terms of glycemic index.
