THE GLYCEMIC INDEX FOUNDATION OF SOUTH AFRICA 

(CC9936171/23) 

OUR MISSION:

TO ASSIST YOU IN MANAGING YOUR

BLOOD GLUCOSE LEVELS 

The red graph indicates what happens to the blood glucose level of a diabetic after eating  a high GI  product.   The orange and green graphs show the preferred blood glucose reaction after eating. The purple graph indicates what happens to the blood glucose level of a person suffering from hypoglycaemia after eating a high GI  product.

The World Health Organisation (WHO), the highest nutrition authority in the world, has recently stated that all people should eat a high carbohydrate diet based on low Glycemic Index (GI) foods. The GI is determined by actual tests and does not rest on assumptions of what effect a product has on blood glucose.
