When choosing carbs, think about their Glycaemic Index (GI).
HEALTHY CARB CHOICES FOR BETTER BLOOD GLUCOSE CONTROL DIABETES AND A LOW-GI DIET
The Glycaemic Index is the scientifically proven way of ranking carbohydrates like rice, bread, breakfast cereals, pasta, noodles, fruit, starchy vegetables, legumes, milk, and yoghurt according to how they affect your blood glucose (sugar) levels. A low-GI diet can provide a number of health benefits for people across all stages of life, from maintaining sustained energy to helping with specific health concerns – including all types of diabetes. Carbohydrates with a low GI (55 or less) typically cause blood glucose levels to rise slowly and fall gently over a longer time. Carbohydrates with a high GI (70 or more) are digested and absorbed more quickly, which typically causes blood glucose levels to rise and fall quicker. Eating low-GI foods helps people with diabetes to sustain more even blood glucose levels overall.
