HealthTip: Glycemic Index

If you have diabetes, you may have heard of glycemic index. Glycemic index (GI) was determined by comparing different foods to how white sugar breaks down in the body. Foods are categorized into high, medium, or low GI foods. Low GI foods take longer to break down and digest, resulting in lower blood glucose increases over a longer period of time(important for people with diabetes). High GI foods break down quickly and result in higher blood sugar spikes.
If you're a diabetic and have trouble controlling your blood glucose after meals, consider adding low GI foods to your diet and see the link below!
