Popular Natural Sweeteners Ranked for People with Diabetes
India has the second largest population of diabetic patients in the world, with over 10 crore individuals affected by the condition.
When choosing natural sweeteners, it's crucial to consider their Glycemic Load (GL) and Glycemic Index (GI). The Gl measures how quickly a food raises blood glucose levels, while the GL accounts for the food's Gl and carbohydrate content, providing a better measure of glucose response. Sweeteners with lower GL are preferred for diabetics and pre-diabetics.
Above are some popular natural sweeteners and their metabolic impact based on glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL).
