Understanding the Results
When comparing foods, look at both GI and GL:
- Lower GI means slower blood sugar rise
- Lower GL means smaller overall impact per serving
- Some high GI foods have low GL (like watermelon) because serving size matters
- Best choice: Low GI + Low GL = most blood sugar friendly
Making Smart Swaps
Use this tool to find better alternatives to your favorite foods. Often a small swap can make a big difference in blood sugar control while keeping meals enjoyable.
Pro Tip:
