Understanding GI and GL for Type 2 Diabetes:

-DR. DAMANJIT DUGGAL, MBBS, MD

Glycemic Index (GI): Rates foods on a scale of 0-100 based on how quickly they raise blood sugar.

Low-GI (Less than 55): Foods that digest slowly, causing a gradual rise in blood glucose.

Medium-GI (55-69): Moderately paced digestion with a moderate impact on blood sugar.

High-GI (70 or more): Rapid digestion, leading to a quick and significant increase in blood sugar levels.

Glycemic Load (GL): Considers both GI and total carbohydrate content in food.

GL Classifications: Low (less than 10), Intermediate (11–19), High (20 or more).

Opt for foods with low GI and GL, such as berries, cherries, apples, and pears, for better blood sugar control.
