You need carbs as they break down into glucose and provide fuel for most organs, our brain, and muscles during exercise. High GI carbs cause blood glucose levels to spike and crash. Low GI carbs are digested and released slowly for sustained energy. Glycemic Load (GL) Glycemic Load combines the quantity and quality (GI) of carbohydrates providing a way to compare blood glucose values of diff erent types and amounts of foods. How high your blood glucose rises and how long it stays high depends on GL. There are three classifi cations for GL: Low (10 or less), Moderate (11 – 19), and High (20 or more)..
