Why should I choose Type 2 Brand?
Different types of carbohydrate foods have different effects on your blood sugar levels. Some cause your blood sugar to rise higher and more quickly after eating than others. This is called the glycemic response. The Glycemic Index (GI) ranks foods according to their glycemic response. Pure glucose, for instance, has a ranking of 100 on the Glycemic Index and all other foods are ranked in relation to glucose. Foods that rate less than or equal to 55 are considered "low glycemic." An apple is an example of a low glycemic food (55 or less) whereas a bagel would be considered a high glycemic food (70 or more).
Type 2 Brand products have been tested using GI methodology and have achieved a "low" reading, meaning they release sugar slowly into the body. This is important for those measuring and monitoring their blood sugar levels.
