THINK STROLL WITH LOW GLYCAEMIC INDEX (GI) FOODS
GI gives you a special insight into how food reacts in your body and impacts your blood glucose levels. You don’t need to know the GI value of the foods you eat, but the concept of GI is a helpful tool for managing your diabetes.
SIZE MATTERS WHEN IT COMES TO GLYCAEMIC LOAD (GL)
The GI only tells you how quickly or slowly food raises blood glucose after it’s eaten. But GI can't be used in isolation because how much you eat plays a crucial role in how food affects your blood glucose.
MORE CAN BE LESS WHEN IT COMES TO GI
Just like when you mix hot water with cold water you end up with warm water, if you mix high GI food with low GI food, you get medium GI.
LET YOUR BODY DO THE PROCESSING, NOT THE MANUFACTURER
Generally, the more effort your body requires to process food (through chewing and digestion), the slower it will be broken down in the gut. That’s good news for your blood glucose.
BE IN CONTROL AT A GLANCE
Continuous glucose monitoring provides real-time insights into your glucose levels, helping you understand how different foods impact your levels.
FOOD IS YOUR BODY’S POWERHOUSE
Food fuels the body, impacts your mental health, mood, immune function, and energy levels.
BRING BACK THE LOVE OF FOOD
You can live a full life and be confident in your food choices when you're more aware of how different foods affect your blood glucose levels.
CELEBRATE YOUR UNIQUENESS
Everyone is different, so the way your body reacts to food might not be the same as how someone else’s body reacts.
