The glycemic index, or GI, is a system of ranking foods based on their carbohydrate content and ability to raise blood sugar levels. Low-glycemic foods have an index of 55 or lower on the GI. These foods contain little carbohydrates and therefore cause only slight fluctuation in blood glucose levels. The purpose of the GI is to help you select the right kinds of carbohydrates for good blood glucose control.
