Glycemic Index Food Guide
The glycemic index (GI) is a scale that ranks a carbohydrate-containing food or drink by how much it raises blood sugar levels after it is eaten or drank. Foods with a high GI increase blood sugar higher and faster than foods with a low GI.
A low GI diet may help you:
- Decrease risk of type 2 diabetes and its complications
- Decrease risk of heart disease and stroke
- Feel full longer
- Maintain or lose weight
