glycemic index

Blood sugar,
food by food.

How much each food tends to raise blood glucose — with the value transcribed from a published source, not guessed. Sort, filter by band, and click through to the full food.

Values come from published sources (International Tables of GI · Diabetes Care, the University of Sydney database, peer-reviewed studies), on the standard glucose = 100 scale. It’s a reference value, not a personal prediction: the real response depends on the whole meal, the preparation and you. Not a substitute for professional care.
