Glycemic Index (GI) measures how a carbohydrate-containing food
raises blood glucose. Foods are ranked based on how they compare
to a reference food — either glucose or white bread.

Other Causes of Variability in the Glycemic Index
The particle size of the food
The degree of ripeness
How long the food has been stored
The current meal, or the meal before
The pre-meal BG level The procedure for
measuring GI can vary
from study to study, so GI tables can conflict
Both intra-and interpersonal responses can vary significantly
![Page 19: Glycemic index and diabetes](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062223/5875cb9a1a28ab33128b7523/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
What are the limitations of using glycemic index?
GI values were determined in studies where volunteers ate portions containing 50 grams of carbohydrate of each test food. 50 grams of carbohydrate from popcorn is ten cups popped, while from white rice is about one cup cooked.
There is a wide variation in values assigned to the same food depending on reference source.
GI values can vary depending on many factors GI values measured the effect of a test food when that food was
eaten alone. The effect of food on blood sugar can vary from person to person. A lower GI value does not necessarily mean the food is a better choice.
E.g a chocolate candy bar vs. 1 cup of brown rice have =GI
![Page 20: Glycemic index and diabetes](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062223/5875cb9a1a28ab33128b7523/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
glycemic load
The glycemic load (GL) is an equation that takes into account the planned portion size of a food as well as the glycemic index of that food.
GL = GI x CHOg per serving/100
Is believed to better represent the glycemic impact of more typical portions of foods
Low GL = 10 or less Medium GL = 11-19 High GL = 20 or more
![Page 21: Glycemic index and diabetes](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062223/5875cb9a1a28ab33128b7523/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Example of GL
Example using white bread, GI = 70 GL of 1sl = 70 X 15g/100 = 10.5 GL of 2sl = 70 X 30g/100 = 21 GL of 3sl = 70 X 45g/100 = 31.5
So even a low GI food can have a high GL if the portion is big enough. And, a high GI food can have a lower GL if the portion is controlled
Because GL is based upon GI, GL values of foods can vary for the same reasons that GI can vary

Who may be interested in the glycemic index?
People who have diabetes may use GI values as an additional tool for managing blood sugar levels.
GI values can also be used when treating reactive hypoglycemia.
Studies have shown that when eating low GI foods, people tend to snack less, which may be helpful in weight control as well as blood sugar control.
![Page 26: Glycemic index and diabetes](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062223/5875cb9a1a28ab33128b7523/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
GI & Diabetes
Most GI studies have been conducted using non-diabetic subjects
The measurement of the glycemic response is almost always stopped after 2 hour post-meal
Studies which include subject with diabetes show greater variability in GI response among people with diabetes
The GI is based on a 50 gram load of carbohydrate -which can be very different from a typical portion
Studies demonstrate a small overall improvement in BG control at best 0.27-0.43 % drop in A1c. By contrast, standard Medical Nutritional Therapy has
achieved a 1-2% point drop in A1c.
![Page 27: Glycemic index and diabetes](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062223/5875cb9a1a28ab33128b7523/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
GI or Carbohydrate Counting? There is no one diet or meal plan that works for everyone
with diabetes. The important thing is to follow a meal plan that is tailored to personal preferences and lifestyle
Research shows that both the amount and the type of carbohydrate in food affect blood glucose levels.
Studies also show that the total amount of carbohydrate in food, in general, is a stronger predictor of blood glucose response than the GI.
Based on the research, for most people with diabetes, the first tool for managing blood glucose is some type of carbohydrate counting.
Combined GI with carbohydrate counting, it may provide an additional benefit for achieving blood glucose goals for individuals who can and want to put extra effort into monitoring their food choices
