Definition
English
:
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.
