What is Glycemic Load?
Glycemic Load (GL) is a measure of how much a specific food raises blood glucose levels. It takes into account both the glycemic index and the amount of carbohydrates in a serving.
Formula: Glycemic Load = (Glycemic Index × Carbohydrate grams) ÷ 100
Glycemic Load Reference
| GL Value | Category | Impact |
|---|---|---|
| 0-10 | Low | Minimal blood sugar impact |
| 11-19 | Medium | Moderate blood sugar impact |
| 20+ | High | Significant blood sugar impact |
