- The Glycemic Index and Diabetes - December 19 2007
The glycemic index is a system that calculates the effect of different carbohydrates on the body. It tells how quickly and for how long a food will supply energy (sugar) to the bloodstream.

Usually, these foods should be avoided, though they can be beneficial when your glucose levels are low and need to be quickly elevated. Foods with a low GI score supply energy at a slower, steadier, and more prolonged rate. For people with diabetes, choosing low-GI foods can help keep blood glucose levels even and can prevent sharp spikes and dangerous crashes. Read The Full Article...
