Formula:
The Glycemic Load (GL) is a crucial metric that combines both the Glycemic Index (GI) and the actual carbohydrate content of a food serving. It offers a more comprehensive understanding of a food's real-world impact on blood sugar levels compared to the Glycemic Index alone.
Formula:
GL = (GI × Carbohydrates (grams)) ÷ 100
- GL: The resulting Glycemic Load value.
- GI: The Glycemic Index of the specific food item (a value typically from 0 to 100).
- Carbohydrates (grams): The total amount of carbohydrates, in grams, present in your serving size of the food.
