Find foods that support healthy blood sugar.
Explore Glycemic Index (GI) and Glycemic Load (GL) values and add items to your personalized grocery list.
Glycemix Index (GI):
Glycemic Index (GI) is a score that shows how quickly a food raises blood sugar.
White bread has a high GI (~75), meaning it raises blood sugar quickly. Lentils have a low GI (~32), meaning they raise blood sugar more slowly.
- Low GI (55 or less) → slower rise in blood sugar
- Medium GI (56–69)
- High GI (70+) → raises blood sugar quickly
White bread has a high GI (~75), meaning it raises blood sugar quickly. Lentils have a low GI (~32), meaning they raise blood sugar more slowly.
Glycemic Load (GL):
Glycemic Load (GL) is a score that shows how much a serving of food raises blood sugar, taking into account both the type and amount of carbohydrates.
Watermelon has a high GI, but a low GL (~5) because a normal serving contains relatively little carbohydrate.
White rice has a high GL (~29) because a typical serving contains a larger amount of carbohydrates, leading to a bigger impact on blood sugar.
- Low GL (10 or less) → smaller impact on blood sugar
- Medium GL (11–19)
- High GL (20+) → larger impact on blood sugar
