The glycemic index (GI) which measure how fast the food or beverage cause our blood sugar level to rise where food with higher GI cause a rapid rise in blood sugar and the GI can be misleading because it has glycemic load (GL) and glycemic index (GI), where GL is much accurate and realistic and it shows both the quality of carbs. For example, a watermelon has a high GI of 72 but having a GL of 2 per 100 gram only, and this means it has high carbs that quickly raise blood sugar but it has very few low carbs due to low GL.
