Low Glycaemic Index Diets May Prevent Type 2 Diabetes: Study
- 09 Apr 2024
A recent international study highlighted the association between low glycaemic index diets and reduced risk of type 2 diabetes.
Key Points
- Glycaemic Index Impact: Consumption of low glycaemic index and low glycaemic load diets is suggested to prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes, as per findings of an international study.
- BMI Association: The study found a strong correlation between glycaemic index (GI) and type 2 diabetes risk, particularly among individuals with higher Body Mass Index (BMI).
- Glycaemic Index Definition: GI ranks carbohydrate-containing foods based on post-meal blood glucose response, with higher readings indicating higher GI values.
- Glycaemic Load Impact: Glycaemic load (GL) considers both the quality and quantity of carbohydrates in food, contributing to diabetes risk.
- Significant Findings: Higher GI diets were associated with increased diabetes risk, with individuals in the highest GL quintile showing a heightened risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
- BMI Influence: The association between GI and diabetes risk was notably stronger in individuals with higher BMI, emphasizing the role of BMI in diabetes prevention strategies.
