Glycemic Index and Diabetes. The glycemic index, or GI, measures how a carbohydrate-containing food raises blood glucose. Foods are ranked based on how they compare to a reference food — either glucose or white bread. A food with a high GI raises blood glucose more than a food with a medium or low GI. Not all carbs affect blood sugar in the same manner. The glycemic index, or GI, ranks carbs on a 100-point scale based on how quickly they raise blood sugar. Foods with a high GI of greater than 70 raise blood sugars quickly, while foods with a low GI, or less than 55, raise blood sugars gradually.
