It does matter where its from, and it matters even more depending on the type of insulin you use.To put it simply glycemic index shows how quick it will raise your levels. Glycemic load takes into account the amount of carb in the food. If you are having 5g of high GI food may only raise your BS by 1 mmol/L, but if you have something that has 50g of carb and is high GI it will raise say 10 mmol/L and it will do it quick.So its an indicator, not exact science, but something high in carbs but low in GI may have no rise at all if the insulin profile is better suited.</blockquote>
