Healthy adult of 75 kg with a blood volume of 5 L has a blood glucose level of 5 g = 1 spoon. The rest gets stored as glycogen and the excess as fat.

Dr. David Unwin, Chair of our Scientific Advisory Committee, created several sugar infographics to give you an idea of how different foods can have an impact on your blood sugar.

Each teaspoon represents a 4g portion of white sugar. By visualising how sugary different foods are, we can make better dietary choices.

1. A banana (120g) has the same effect on your blood sugar as 5.7 teaspoons of sugar.
2. 2 slices of white bread (60g) equal 7.4 teaspoons of sugar.
3. A bowl of cornflakes (30g) is equivalent to 8.4 teaspoons of sugar.

Understanding the Glycaemic Index (GI) is vital in this journey. The GI is a score out of 100 that measures how quickly a food containing carbohydrates raises blood sugar levels after eating:

* Low GI: 1 to 55
* Medium GI: 56 to 69
* High GI: 70 and higher

Foods with a higher GI (like cornflakes at 93) raise blood sugar faster and higher compared to those with a lower GI (like a banana at 62). Combined with the quantity of food, this scoring helps you select foods that manage blood sugar more effectively.
