[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 110176, member: 12578"] I agree, a food can be low GI and be highly processed, have few nutrients or be very high in 'bad' fats, M&Ms have a low GI but few nutrients, Frosties have a lower GI but are highly processed and contain 'empty calories, the tartiflette I ate the other night was very low gi but was very high in sat fat. But using the index along with some knowledge of what lowers gi overall (we don't eat foods in isolation, we eat mixed meals) means that people with glucose intolerance can lower peaks of insulin release and blood glucose .Those for of us with little or no insulin of our own can manipulate insulin dosing to avoid rollercoaster levels, and minimise overall insulin use. (though on MDI this can mean more than one injection for a meal) Used wisely, alongside other advice about what constitutes a healthy diet. The researchers at the gi index feel that this is a diet that includes carbs from [u]all[/u] sources...fruits, vegs, milk, legumes, whole grains, enabling people with diabetes (and without)to eat a well 'balanced' diet. There is a slide set of a powerpoint presentation given to the American Diabetes association which explains briefly what lowers gi and it's use as a tool in diabetes with some practical examples of meal planning. 'Practical Use of the GI Johanna Burani, MS, RD, CDE'. It is linked on the 'about gi' page at [url=http://www.glycemicindex.com/]http://www.glycemicindex.com/[/url] :!: [/QUOTE]
