In the July issue of Santé you can read how you can maintain your blood sugar level. The glycemic load of foods is important in this regard. We'll tell you more about it.
What is the difference between glycemic index and glycemic load? The glycemic index is a value that indicates how quickly a food raises your blood sugar level. The glycemic load is similar, but takes into account the size of a serving. The glycemic index is a value between 0 and 100, with 100 being the highest. For the glycemic load, on the other hand, the values are different:
Low glycemic load
<10 (slowly raise blood sugar levels)
Medium glyemic load
10 – 20 (gradual rise in blood sugar)
High glycemic load
>20 (rapid rise in blood sugar)
