It is a scale from 0-100 that ranks digested carbohydrates by how much they raise blood glucose levels compared to a reference food (glucose).

High GI carbohydrates or “gushers” quickly digested produce rapid release (“gush”) of after-meal glucose GI values: 70+
Low GI carbohydrates or “tricklers” slowly digested produce slow gradual release (“trickle”) of after-meal
glucose GI values: 0 - 55

A measurement of how high a blood glucose level will rise after eating a specific amount of a specific carbohydrate.
It combines the quality of the carbohydrate and the quantity of the carbohydrate portion into one number.

GL = carbohydrate (grams/serving) x GI
100
Example #1: GL of a small apple
13 grams x 38 ÷ 100 = 5 grams
Example #2: GL of a large apple
26 grams x 38 ÷ 100 = 10 grams www.EatGoodCarbs.com

GL tells us how much insulin the body needs to release into the blood stream to deal with the increased blood glucose level resulting from the digestion of a specific amount of a specific carbohydrate.

Glycemic Index: ranks carbohydrates based on their immediate blood glucose response.
GI = carbohydrate quality
Glycemic Load: helps predict a blood glucose response to a specific amount of a specific carbohydrate.
GL = carbohydrate quality + carbohydrate quantity
