Need Help Understanding Glycemic Index and Glycemic Load for My Grandma's Diabetes Management
Post Body
Hey everyone,
I’m trying to help my grandma manage her diabetes, and I want to understand more about the glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL) of the foods she eats. She was recently diagnosed, so I want to make sure we’re doing everything we can to support her health.
I have a few questions:
- Is there a way to calculate the glycemic index from the information available on a food’s nutrition label? If so, what should I look for?
- What’s the difference between glycemic index and glycemic load? I see them both mentioned, but I’m not sure how they relate or differ.
- If they are different, how do I calculate the glycemic load?
- I want to make sure I’m not just focusing on the GI if something else to calculate please tell me
Thanks so much for any advice or resources you can share. I want to make sure I’m as informed as possible to help my grandma with her diet!
