High variability suggests glycemic index is unreliable indicator of blood sugar response

Each blue spot speaks to the normal of three glycemic record esteem conclusions for an individual subject. Even bars speak to the standard deviations. Adjusted from Matthan et al (2016). Credit: Tufts University The glycemic list of a given sustenance, an esteem that intends to measure how quick glucose ascends subsequent to eating it, can fluctuate by a normal of 20 percent inside an individual and 25 percent among people, report researchers from the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging (USDA HRNCA) at Tufts University.
