glycemic index and type 2 diabetes

Glycemic index refers to a rating system that measures how quickly and significantly different foods can increase blood sugar levels after consumption. Type 2 diabetes is a chronic condition characterized by high blood sugar levels due to the body's inability to properly regulate insulin, leading to insulin resistance. The glycemic index is relevant to type 2 diabetes as it helps individuals manage their blood sugar levels by making dietary choices that include foods with lower glycemic index values.
