Question

and absorbed 6. Glycemic Index and Load are two concepts that you may be asked about. Explain these two terms: lycemic Index = how quickly the carbohydrate in a food Explain why cxplain why these two torcepts are not recommended as a teaching tool in diabetes and what factors affect semis. Load = accounts for portion size values.

Answer 1

Glycemic index;

Il BM Glycemie Inden: » Il represent the ability of carbohydrate food, helps to Increase the level of glucose is the Blood iton Glycemic Inden value assigned to carbohydrate food, based on how quickly They digest and adffect The Blood sugar high Glejcenie irden and low glycemic Index Nalue for the food .

Glycemic load;

Glycemic load : It represent the number and Estimate how much food will raise a person Hood glucose level after Eating it. as It is a Indicator, how carbohydrate good will affect blood po sugas ro denotes how much carbohydrate is the food, how much each gram of carbohejahata is The food, reises blood glucose level

Glycemic index and load are not recommended in the tools of diabetes;

• it increase the glucose level in the diabetics patient.
• Hyperglycemic conditions produced in the patient.
• 
  Oso Food containing carbohydrates have to Increase the Blood glucose level is the Diabetic pcottiert. - where hoogh glejamie irden or telecenic load predispose to higher postprandial blood glucose and Insulis concertation, > finally Inorease the glucose intolerance, and risk of type 2 diabetes.
  

Factors influencing the glycemic index and load;

• Type of starch.
• Viscosity of fibre.
• Sugar content.
• Acid content.
• Fat content.
