[QUOTE="Metabolism_Boss, post: 1777020, member: 407045"] The information on "glucose loading" that led to the glycaemic index is flawed in two important aspects for diabetics; The first and most significant is that diabetics show much higher blood sugar increases than nondiabetics. The glycaemic index measurement is usually made on a number of nondiabetics, averaged and then expressed as a percent. The intial work did not follow the experimental subjects for long enough (3 hours) to see the delayed spike that occurs much later (5 hours +). These issues are not important for people with a normal metabolism. They may be very significant for diabetics. If you do go ahead, I would suggest measuring your BG every hour or so for at least six hours to see what happens. [/QUOTE]
