Glycemic Index

GI stands for Glycemic Index and is a measure of the impact of food on your blood sugar. Foods with a high GI tend to quickly raise your body’s blood sugar levels; by contrast, foods with a low GI will raise them more slowly and over a longer period.

The glycemic index range is as follows:

Low GI = 55 or less
Medium GI = 56–69
High GI = 70 or more

All GI figures are based on studies conducted at the University of Sydney. Consult a dietician for specific healthcare information.
