glycemic index and gestational diabetes
Glycemic index refers to a numerical scale that measures how quickly carbohydrates in food raise blood sugar levels. It helps categorize food based on their impact on blood sugar. On the other hand, gestational diabetes is a form of diabetes that occurs during pregnancy, resulting in high blood sugar levels. It is caused by hormonal changes and can have potential risks for both the mother and baby.
