By: Tomas Labas

Dr. David Jenkins came up with a ranking system for carbohydrates based upon how long it takes them to break down into the arrangement. Some carbohydrates break down very slowly and those set free glucose gradually into the bloodstream and have a low GI. For mankind who are diabetes, particularly those who are insulin dependent, high glycemic index foods are bad, and low GI is preferable. These foods allow the medication to retort better to the blood glucose and allows for the sugars to break down more naturally.

Opposite foods are rated high on the Glycemic Index. These foods currently have high ratings and raise the blood glucose level speedily. High glycemic foods can be useful for mankind who are recovering from high exertion or those suffering from hypoglycemia. Mankind with Type I or Type II Diabetes should avoid high glycemic index foods as they can play havoc with the medication they are taking.

Examples of foods that considered high glycemic index foods include corn flakes, white rices, baked potatoes, white breads. Mankind who have diabetes, either Type I or Type II, should avoid these foods as much as possible.

Other foods that are high gi foods include those with great amounts of white refined sugar or white flour. One thing a physician will tell a patient on how to avoid high glycemic index foods is to avoid anything white, this includes white bread, pasta made with white flour, cakes or sweets made with refined white sugar or white flour... You've got the picture?

High glycemic foods tend to take a long time to digest in the gradation of a diabetic. The glucose stays in the blood hence the system of a diabetic is unable to process the refine sugars and flours. The glucose stays in the blood and in the urine causing the diabetic to often urinate, experience thirst and hunger more than the average person and sweat profusely.

After a while, this takes its toll on the routine of a diabetic: the kidneys begin to hurt because they are not functioning properly. This is one symptom that diabetics often present with when seeking a doctor. They also get blood in their urine and, in the worst case scenario, they faint or enter into an happening of semi-consciousness, confusion which can even lead to a diabetic coma and in some instances, a diabetic coma can prove fatal.

Mankind who have Type I and Type II diabetes should be very mindful of which foods have a high gi and avoid these foods in their dietary. With proper one, medication or insulin and monitoring of blood sugars, diabetics can lead a normal lifespan.

Diabetes is not a death sentence. It is simply a state that many mankind possess that does not allow their body to break down sugars and starches through their system so that they digest normally. Diabetes is harmful to an person who does not follow the advice of their physician, does not consume a proper diet and does not monitor their blood glucose levels. Mankind who adhere to the medicinal guidelines concerning diabetes have just as much of a chance of living a normal life as anyone else.
