Do you know that when you eat a food containing carbohydrates, your body breaks it down to produce energy? And do you know also that the impact a food will have on the blood sugar depends on many other factors….

Yes, those factor and their impacts are measured by what is called The glycemic index or GI for short; which according to Wikipedia is a measure of the rate at which a carbohydrate is broken down in your system and how it affects blood sugar levels.

Alright, Glucose (the defining standard) here has a glycemic index of 100. But the effects that different foods have on blood glucose levels vary considerably from one person to the other. However, what we are saying here is that the glycemic index estimates how much each gram of available carbohydrate (total carbohydrate minus fiber) in a food raises a person's blood glucose level following consumption of the food, relative to consumption of pure glucose.

With that said, it then means if you are diabetic, it is important that you acquaint yourself with certain terms and concepts as they are very important to controlling the disease. Yes, and the glycemic index or GI is one of these concepts that have been employed successfully over the years.

So, as mentioned above, it is a measure of how quickly a food containing carbohydrates raises your blood sugar. Put another way, we can say, it is a numeric value that indicates the speed at which a carbohydrate is converted into glucose to enter your bloodstream and deliver energy to the cells in your body.
