Glycemic index measures how fast a food raises blood glucose; glycemic load adjusts that for a real serving. The surest read is your own. Log a post-meal reading after each and compare.

Values are rounded published references and vary with ripeness and preparation. General information, not medical advice. Back to the full glycemic index.

A reference is a starting point. Your own numbers are the real story: log a reading after a meal, add a quick note, and SteadyRange shows you the patterns, on a private log you control.
