In nutrition, the glycemic index is a "numerical system of measuring the rate of blood glucose generation by a particular food item as compared to a reference item, such as glucose = 100. Foods with higher glycemic index numbers create greater blood sugar swings. These numbers do not correspond to calories or amounts of food intake but rather, depend on the rates of digestion and absorption of these food items."[1]

Physiology

Glycemic index

"The glycemic index factor is a ranking of foods based on their overall effect on blood sugar levels. Low glycaemic index foods, such as lentils, provide a slower more consistent source of glucose to the bloodstream, thereby stimulating less insulin release than high glycaemic index foods, such as white bread."[2][3]

Glycemic load

The glycemic load is "the mathematical product of the glycemic index and the carbohydrate amount".[4][5]

Clinical role

A meta-analysis by the Cochrane Collaboration concluded that low glycemic index or low glycemic load diets led to more weight loss and better lipid profiles. However, the Cochrane Collaboration grouped low glycemic index and low glycemic load diets together and did not try to separate the effects of the load versus the index.[6]

Obesity

In a randomized controlled trial that compared four diets that varied in carbohydrate amount and glycemic index the authors found that glycemic index may not affect weight lost.[5]

Cardiovascular risk reduction

In a randomized controlled trial that compared four diets that varied in carbohydrate amount and glycemic index[5], the authors concluded that "cardiovascular risk reduction is optimized by a high-carbohydrate, low-GI (glycemic index) diet".

Diabetes

Randomized controlled trial of low glycemic index diet in treatment of diabetes mellitus type 2[7]
  low–glycemic index high–cereal fiber
HbA1c –0.50% –0.18%
HDL +1.7 mg/dL –0.2 mg/dL


In a randomized controlled trial that compared high–cereal fiber versus low–glycemic index dietary advice for the treatment of diabetes mellitus type 2, the low glycemic index diet reduced the HbA1c and raised the high-density lipoproteins.[8]
