Glycemic Index Question? I'm confused on how my professor worded this on the homework assignment. I'm familiar with the glycemic index. I also know that a lower glycemic index is better for you. When he says 'Least Favorable' does he mean the choice with the highest glycemic index (since lower is more favorable?) So far, I think it's baked potato. Baked potatoes are pretty starchy and high on the GI. However, I might be misinterpeting the question. Any suggestions are appreciated. ----------------------------------------------------- In a person with type 2 diabetes, which of the following foods would ordinarily promote the LEAST favorable glycemic effect? a. chocolate b. ice cream c. baked potato d. baked beans

Diabetes and the Glycemic Index? There seems to be a lot of discussion these days about type 2 dibetes (I am one of them) and diet. It is true that weight loss and exercise are important factors in keeping sugar levels down, but just as important is not only what you eat, which is tied directly to the 'glycemic index', but also how much you eat, which is directly tied to the 'glycemic load' of food. Please refer to www.mendoza.com for more info on this subject, and google both 'glycemic index' and 'glycemic load' for more information. It is imperative to understand how all of these individual things, like food/diet, exercise/weight loss and medications are so tightly correlated to each other.

Another Hypoglycemic ?? The glycemic index? I was wondering if anyone uses the glycemic index to control hypoglycemia. My daughter was diagnosed with sever hypoglycemia about a month ago and we are waiting to see a specialist. I check her sugar regularly. And it is up and down. 57-140mg/dl. I am wanting to try and stabilize it. But I am not sure how. If you have any ideas on how to or the index chart please let me know. She is not over weight. She is 4'4 and weighs 56lbs. The morning fasting sugars will sometimes be in the 100's or in the low 60's. Please help me.. I am so confused

For diabetes and hypoglycemia: what is the difference between the glycemic index vx. glycemic load of foods? I've been studying the glycemic index to find low carbohydrate foods that metabolize slowly. I'm not diabetic, but with hypoglycemia I know that I could become diabetic. I'm confused now by the conflicting information I'm getting about the glycemic index not being a true indicator of how our blood sugar levels respond to carbohydrates. For instance, carrots supposedly have a higher GI rating than most vegetables, but react differently in our bloodstream than the same amount of carbs from refined bread or sugar would. Any information would be greatly appreciated. By the way, hypoglycemia is not a problem for me, I rarely experience it since I have avoided sugary foods for years.

How can I prepare dried red beans so they will have a lower glycemic index? According to glycemicindex.com, red kidney beans are reported as having glycemic indexes of 25, 36, 43, and 51, depending on the study. I want to end up with beans closer to the lower end of that. I've read that, in general, the less processing and cooking a food undergoes, the lower its glycemic index will be. The instructions on the package of beans says to soak overnight, then simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours. Can I change this preparation method in some way (soaking time, simmering time, etc) to lower the glycemic index, while still ending up with good taste and texture? Thanks Nikki: So, with your method, there's no pre-soaking involved at all?

Why does boiling pasta longer than 4-7 minutes increase the pasta's glycemic index rating? I just got home from Whole Foods, where I had gotten papardalle pasta (among other things, of course). On the package, it says: "The more you cook your pasta, the higher the glycemic-index rating. Please test your pasta frequently, and become accustomed to eating pasta al-dente, as they do in Italy". I searched on the internet and found sites that say that the GI rating increases with more boiling, but none say why? I would have thought it would be the opposite, thinking that the starches would boil out of the pasta the longer it boiled?
