Measuring carbohydrate efficiency can help with glucose management. To help you understand how the foods you're eating can affect your blood glucose levels, here's an abbreviated chart of the glycemic index for more than 60 common foods.1. Food glycemic index
The glycemic index is a value assigned to foods based on how slowly or quickly those foods raise blood sugar levels. Foods low on the glycemic index (GI) scale tend to release glucose slowly and steadily. Foods with a high glycemic index release glucose quickly. Low GI foods tend to promote weight loss, while high GI foods help restore energy after exercise, or offset blood sugar levels after hypoglycemia (or not enough). Long-distance runners will tend to eat more foods with a high glycemic index, while people with diabetes will need to focus on low GI foods. Because people with type 1 diabetes cannot produce enough insulin, and people with type 2 diabetes have insulin resistance. With both types of diabetes, the faster release of glucose from high GI foods leads to blood sugar spikes. The slow and steady release of glucose in low-glycemic foods helps maintain good glucose control.2. Food glycemic index table
