Glycemic load is a measure that combines both the quality and quantity of carbohydrates in a serving of food, indicating its impact on blood sugar levels. It takes into account the glycemic index, which ranks carbohydrates based on how they affect blood sugar, and the amount of carbohydrates in a particular serving size.
