What is Glycemic Load (GL)?

GL estimates how much a serving of food will raise blood glucose (GI × grams of available carbs ÷ 100). Lower GL is generally better for glucose control.

Where do the numbers come from?

Values are from a curated offline database with typical averages. They are estimates and can vary by brand, ripeness, cooking method, and recipe.

Guidance & FAQ

What is a “good” score?

The score (0–100) rewards lower GL and higher fiber. ~70–100 = more diabetes-friendly (🟢), ~40–69 = moderate (🟠), <40 = less friendly (🔴). Use with personal monitoring.

Why do results vary?

Recipe, ripeness, processing, and cooking change GI/GL. Use this as a guide and adjust to your own glucose response.
