🍉 Part 4 of 5-day Series on Glycemic Index.
😳 Learn this Important Concept
Glycemic Index (GI): GI tells how fast a food increases your blood sugar after eating. High GI foods raise sugar quickly, while low GI foods increase it slowly.
Glycemic Load (GL): GL tells how much your blood sugar will actually increase based on both the speed (GI) and the quantity you eat. So even if a food has high GI, eating it in small portions can keep your sugar under control.
👉 Example: Watermelon has high GI… but diabetics can still eat it?
😀Yes, watermelon has high GI
But it also has low carbs per serving
So if you eat 1–2 slices, the Glycemic Load stays low means sugar spike stays controlled
Simple rule to remember 👇
High GI + Large Quantity = ❌ Big sugar spike
High GI + Small Portion = ✅ Controlled sugar
So not only GI matters but portion size + combination + timing also matters
This is where most people make mistakes in diabetes diet!
