Fruit and Diabetes
People with diabetes shouldn?t be afraid of fruit! Fruit is packed with vitamins and minerals, including antioxidants. It also contains dietary fiber, which fills you up and helps with blood sugar control. Fruit?s sweet taste makes it a natural and healthful dessert too.
Low GI Diet, Cardiovascular Disease Risk, and Insulin Resistance
If the high-GI and low-GI diets differ significantly in salt, potassium, magnesium, fiber, saturated fat, and cholesterol content, then it may be those variables, rather than GI per se, that are the true causal factor.
Individualizing Patient Care: Does that Include Individualizing A1C Goals?
