An upper gastrointestinal (GI) series (barium swallow), is a radiological test that is used to visualize the structures of the upper digestive system - the esophagus, stomach and duodenum.

In people with diabetes, this system is defective, so glucose stays in the blood. This is what you are checking when you test your blood-sugar level. You have no doubt heard about the concept of the glycemic index (GI). GI is a measure of how fast and how high a particular food will raise blood sugar. Foods with a high GI raise blood sugar faster and higher than foods with a low GI.

For instance, the GI value of potato chips or french fries is lower than baked potatoes.
