Glycemic Load For Fruit (2)
Note: Glycemic Load measures the glycemic
index of a regular food serving. It is therefore a useful dietary tool
for patients with diabetes, people with insulin resistance, or anyone
who wishes to improve their blood sugar management by avoiding surges
in blood glucose after eating easily digestible carbohydrate.

Glycemic
Load Measures Impact of Food Servings on Blood Glucose
While the
glycemic index (GI) measures glycemic response after consuming
a standard amount (50g) of useable carbohydrate from a particular food,
the glycemic load (GL) ranks foods according to how much carbohydrate
is in a regular serving of the food in question.
How to Calculate
Glycemic Load
To determine
the glycemic load (GL) for a particular food, use this formula:
GL = (GI
Value x carbohydrate per serving) divided by 100
Note:
If a particular food has Glycemic Load (GL) of zero, usually this is because
the food contains little or no carbs (eg. meat, fish, cheese, eggs etc.).
Where very few variations of a food type are listed, this is because very
few variations have been "tested" to determine their GI value.
