Glycemic Index Chart

The Glycemic Index chart below uses a scale of 1 to 100 for Glycemic Index and 1 to 50 for Glycemic Load values, glucose having the highest GI value of 100 and GL of 50. For instance a food with a glycemic index of 30 doesn't raise the blood glucose that much at all , but GI doesn't consider how big the serving size is or how much you eat. GL does include the size: It is simply 'carb content of the food' times ('GI value' divided by 100).

Low GI : 55 and under --- Low GL : 10 and under

Medium GI : 56 to 69 --- Medium GL: 11 to 19

High GI : 70 and above --- High GL : 20 and above.

But you will notice differences between different glycemic index charts , hence the below glycemic index and load values are approximate figures and averages of different studies on that specific food. They give you a general and useful information on how foods raise your blood sugar. No single figure will tell you everything about a food, there will be other factors to consider.
