The Glycemic Index (GI) was developed to help people (especially diabetics and athletes) maintain stable blood sugar levels. GI ranks food on a scale from 0 - 100 according to how much they raise blood sugar levels after eating. A high GI raises the blood sugar quicker than a low GI food. The reference value of the glycemic-index chart is Glucose (GI = 100) High GI foods have a glycemic index of more than 70. Low GI foods have a glycemic index of less than 55. Medium GI foods are in between.

This is a fantastic organizer. Do you have any plans for updating this information in the future?

This is very useful information. More than the carbs, this index is helpful in figuring out what to eat for people who are suffering from diabetic condition
