Glycemic index is a number. It gives you an idea about how fast your body converts the carbs in a food into glucose. Two foods with the same amount of carbohydrates can have different glycemic index numbers.
The smaller the number, the less impact the food has on your blood sugar.
55 or less = Low (good)
56- 69 = Medium
70 or higher = High (bad)
By seeing the above table one can understand sugar with GI value of around 65 can do a lot of harm to diabetic people.
But the real challenge no one can totally avoid sugar may be because we are adopted and habituated to sugariness in tea, coffee, juice or sweets whatever it may be we developed such strong sweet teeth.
Taking tea, coffee or juice without sugar is a real challenge.
To have tasty tea or coffee adding artificial sweeteners like aspartame, sucralose etc. became a common practice among diabetics.
In fact by using these chemical based artificial sweeteners they are doing more harm than the good as these chemicals are very harmful to kidneys.
One other good alternative to give sweet taste is stevia leaf extract, but here the issue is typical leafy flavour and post use bitterness.
Keeping all these points in consideration we are offering.
