As the American Academy of Family Physicians explains, the glycemic index of food — commonly called the GI — is a measurement between 0 and 100 that tells you how quickly the carbohydrate content breaks down in the body. Foods with a lower GI are digested more slowly, so they produce a less significant, more gradual rise in blood sugar, whereas foods with a higher GI spike your. The Glycemic Index chart below uses a scale of 1 to 100 for Glycemic Index and 1 to 50 for Glycemic Load values, glucose having the highest GI value of 100 and GL of 50. For instance a food with a glycemic index of 30 doesn’t raise the blood glucose that much at all, but GI doesn’t consider how big the serving size is or how much you eat. The standardized Glycemic Index ranges from 0 to 100. Zero-glycemic foods—those without carbohydrates—include items like meats, fish, and oils. Pure sugar has a glycemic index of 100. Low-glycemic foods have a glycemic load of 55 or lower and include most fruits and vegetables, beans, dairy, and some grains.

WHAT ARE GMOs?

A GMO is a genetically modified organism. GMOs are plants or microorganisms that have had their genetic material artificially generated or engineered through the use of modern biotechnology. Common uses for such genetic engineering are enhancing the nutrition of foods derived from a plant, giving a plant herbicide/virus resistance, and improving a plant’s protections against insects.

ARE GMOS SAFE?

According to a report by the National Academy of Sciences, a group established by the U.S. Congress to provide expert scientifically-based advice, currently marketed foods derived from GMOs have proven to be safe to eat.

Snacking can help or hinder your glycemic control…. You are the force behind which occurs. Whether we are addressing snacking between meals or evening and bedtime snacks, some familiar mistakes are described below with some helpful tips to conquer those slip-ups.

1. Too Many Carbs

Ask anyone what their favorite snacks are…. They are nearly all high carbohydrate foods. Crackers, pretzels, chips, cookies…. All go-to snacks for kids and adults alike. Carbohydrate content of snacks is typically recommended at 15-30 grams. Just one cup of the thin pretzel sticks contains 36 grams of carbohydrate. An 8-ounce container of lowfat strawberry yogurt contains 43 grams of carbohydrate. Only 15 Triscuit-type crackers contains 45 grams of carbohydrate. It is easy to eat more than you need.

Tip: Read labels carefully for serving size and total carbohydrate.

2. Not Enough Carbs

On the flip side, many people with diabetes go overboard and avoid carbohydrate at snack time. In reality, you need some carbohydrate continuously through the day for energy. Some common low-carbohydrate snacks: 1 ounce of cheese (contains zero carbohydrate), carrot and celery sticks with ranch dressing (about 8 grams of carbohydrate), or ¼ cup of roasted almonds (7 grams of carbohydrate). Remember that typical recommendations are for 15-30 grams of carbohydrate in a snack.

Tip: Don’t be afraid to include some carbs in your snack, just be informed about how much you are eating.

3. Caught Without a Plan

You are driving the kids to and from extracurricular activities, or you have a crazy day at work, or you are on a business trip…. Hectic schedules can certainly interfere with your eating plan. The best laid plans may get side tracked. But, having a plan in place in the beginning is the key to success. If you know that you are going to be out and about all day, bring some healthy carb-controlled snacks with you. If you are travelling, make informed and wise choices at the airport mini-markets or food court. If you are taxiing kids around, stop at the gas station/market for a quick snack. Going without a snack could be detrimental to your glycemic control.

Tip: Put together a list of foods that you can keep in your desk or car or briefcase. Have those snacks available to you. Read the labels of foods to stay in the 15-30 gram carb goal range.

4. Relying on Processed and Refined Foods

Energy bars make a lot of health claims, but in reality, most are too high in carbohydrate for a diabetes snack. Fruit juices are loaded with simple carbohydrate without any of the beneficial fiber in whole fruit. Processed foods like cookies and chips are obviously not the best snack choices for diabetics. Think fresh.

Tip: Choose fresh or dried fruit (15 grams of carbohydrate per serving) and healthy proteins (cheese slices, a few nuts, or a boiled egg) for a cleaner snack with the proper amount of carb
