Graph depicting blood sugar change during a day with three meals. The glycemic (glycaemic) index (GI; / ɡ l aɪ ˈ s iː m ɪ k / [1]) is a number from 0 to 100 assigned to a food, with pure glucose arbitrarily given the value of 100, which represents the relative rise in the blood glucose level two hours after consuming that food.

They have a high glycemic index (85 out of 100), but their glycemic load for a typical serving size is low (4.25), meaning they’re unlikely to cause a significant blood sugar spike.
Whereas glycemic index is defined for each type of food, glycemic load can be calculated for any size serving of a food, an entire meal, or an entire day's meals. [citation needed] Glycemic load of a 100 g serving of food can be calculated as its carbohydrate content measured in grams (g), multiplied by the food's GI, and divided by 100.
Opt for nuts to balance out other high-carb ingredients, or better yet, instead of empty high-calorie snacks such as potato and corn chips. panco971/istockphoto Flax Seeds
A quick refresher: the glycemic index (GI) was created in the 1980s by David Jenkins, and measures how fast carbohydrates in food and drink raise your blood sugar on a scale of 1 to 100.
Since 1914, each of New York City's five boroughs has been coextensive with a county of New York State – unlike most U.S. cities, which lie within a single county or extend partially into another county, constitute a county in themselves, or are completely separate and independent of any county.

Most of the fruit served in public and charter schools operated by New York City Department of Education (NYCDOE) is local. A project to bring New York State apples to city school cafeterias has also increased fruit consumption among school children.
