In addition, in order not to eat foods that do not contain sugar, diabetics also monitor the glycemic index of foods. Of course, this is not surprising, because this indicator is directly related to the release of sugar into the blood. It is much easier to take this indicator into account if there is a table of glycemic index of foods for diabetics at hand. For convenience, they are divided not only by classification and index of GI, but also “by size”: from high to low.
