glycemic index and insulin resistance

Glycemic index refers to a measurement of how quickly carbohydrates from a particular food source are converted into glucose in the bloodstream. It helps determine how rapidly and significantly blood sugar levels rise after consuming that food. Insulin resistance is a condition where the body becomes less responsive to the hormone insulin, which is responsible for regulating blood sugar levels. This condition causes the body to require higher levels of insulin to process glucose efficiently, leading to persistently elevated blood sugar levels.
