The Glycemic Index and Diabetic Diets
The glycemic index diet is one that many diabetics find useful. The diet is based on
assigning meals a ranking that signifies that meals? s effect on blood sugar levels. This can
be a valuable tool for diabetics, especially ones that have been newly diagnosed as it can
take a few of the guess work out of meal making plans and what meals to eat.
The glycemic index (GI) diet indicates foods that have a low GI worth meaning they will
take a longer time to have an affect on blood sugars and ones that have a upper value ?
they will act quicker to raise blood sugars. A diabetic is still going to have to use another
means to decide what foods to eat though ? such as the meals pyramid or an amendment list
as not all items on the GI diet are as healthy as they could be. that approach a meals that has a
low index does not imply it is a better selection for you than some foods that are on the
higher end of the scale.
Using the GI diet as your sole source of meal planning is not recommended not only
because the values are not indicative of the healthiest choice but also as a result of not all
foods are listed. If you are basing your diet on this method and need to add different foods
that do not have GI rating you are not going to be ready to properly plan. Until extra
information is researched on the diet or it is made extra comprehensive it should be used
with an approved diet for diabetics such as the exchange diet or the carbohydrate
counting diet.
If you want more data on how to incorporate the GI diet with your current meal
plan, consult with your dietician or a diabetes educator.
