Why the glycemic index of food is important for blood sugar levels
A person can have blood sugar levels that are too low or too high, which can lead to the development of diabetes. Blood sugar levels are mainly determined by the carbohydrate food that enters the body. The glycemic index (GI) indicates the speed at which carbohydrates are digested in the intestines and absorbed into the blood as glucose. A low glycemic index means a slow process and gradual absorption of glucose, which is very good for blood sugar control. Coconut blossom syrup has a low glycemic index (between 30-35) and is suitable for diabetics
