1. The glycemic index (GI)<\/strong> ranks foods containing carbohydrates according to their effect on blood glucose<\/span> levels after eating.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0High Glycemic Index (GI) foods <\/strong>are digested and absorbed by the body quickly,<\/span> leading to a rapid spike in blood sugar levels. For ex-<\/strong> Sugary foods and beverages, white bread, potatoes, and white rice.<\/span><\/p>\n

3.\u00a0Low and medium GI foods<\/strong> are digested more slowly, causing a more gradual increase in blood sugar levels<\/span>. For ex-<\/strong> Fruits and vegetables, pulses, and whole grains like porridge oats.<\/span><\/p>\n

Glycemic Index and Glycemic load advantages<\/h2>\n

1.The glycemic index (GI)<\/strong> is beneficial for individuals with type 2 diabetes<\/span> as consuming low GI foods aids in managing blood glucose levels.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. The<\/strong> glycemic load (GL)<\/strong> evaluates the quality and quantity of carbohydrates<\/span> in a particular food item and the amount of carbohydrate consumed in one serving.<\/p>\n

Findings of the study<\/h2>\n

a) People with the highest Glycemic Load (GL) intake faced greater diabetes risks than those with the lowest<\/span>.<\/p>\n

b) The link between glycemic index (GI) and diabetes risk was notably stronger in individuals with higher body mass indexes (BMIs).<\/p>\n
