Abstract in brief

  • The glycaemic index (GI) was developed to classify carbohydrate-rich foods based on their effects on blood sugar levels after eating, with low-GI foods causing slower digestion and absorption, often leading to better health outcomes related to cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
  • To accurately measure and compare GI, standardized methods are needed, including specific guidelines on study subjects, test conditions, blood sampling, and data analysis to ensure consistent and reliable results across laboratories.
  • The review emphasizes the importance of these methodological standards while also discussing emerging alternative ways to express glycaemic responses, reflecting ongoing international interest in refining how we understand and use GI information for healthier food choices.]
