Glycemic Index
What should I know about the Glycemic Index?
The more sugar you eat, the higher your blood glucose will be. So it makes sense to eat lower
glycemic foods more often. In fact, it can be a real benefit in helping you control your blood
glucose levels.
It is important to continue with the current dietary regimen recommended by your physician,
dietitian, or diabetes educator, particularly with regard to
recommended calorie and carbohydrate levels.
As part of a medically monitored program, Type 2 Brand can help you make smarter food choices
based on the glycemic index and their effect on your blood sugar. Your healthcare team can
help you incorporate lower glycemic foods into your daily diet.
To learn more about Low Glycemic Index foods, contact the Canadian Diabetes Association or
