glycemic index and risk of type 2 diabetes in children
The glycemic index refers to a system that measures how quickly carbohydrates in foods are broken down into sugar and enter the bloodstream. It is used to assess how different foods affect blood sugar levels. When referring to the risk of type 2 diabetes in children, the glycemic index becomes relevant as certain studies suggest that consuming foods with a high glycemic index may increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes in children.
