The Glycaemic Index Q&As

Q:

Will eating low GI foods prevent diabetes?

A:

No. Controlled GI meals and snacks will help manage blood sugar levels but will not prevent diabetes. There is no research evidence to suggest that high GI foods can increase the risk of developing diabetes. Debate about the role of the Glycaemic Index in helping the management of diabetes is still ongoing.  The American Diabetic Association does not accept that it has a role, although other organisations for diabetics are more positive.
