A new study came out in support of the Glycemic index instead of Carbohydrate counting as a better tool to help Type I diabetics assess the amount of insulin they need to inject and control their blood glucose. The glycemic index and load are also used to help people control their glucose levels and thereby loose weight. At the Healthbuzz, our weight management program is focused on the glycemic index and load which have been very effective tools for maintaining healthy lifestyles and weight control. www.thehealthbuzz.org
