I was introduced to the concept of "Glycemic Index" a few years ago when studying for my CDE (Certified Diabetes Educator) Exam. For some reason the concept just clicked with me!

It all made sense......an increase in blood sugar when you eat food and the increase depended on the type of food you are eating. I began to explain it to my clients living with diabetes & for weight management. Now, simultaneously I was emphasizing "portion control" to my clients. And the results on blood sugars for them were very positive. So, the clients were happy so I was happy too! 

At the time I was not familiar with the controversies with Glycemic Index. So, I begun to dig in deeper and found a lot of scientifc evidence for & against the concept. I also read a lot about the challenges that practitioners had with implementing the concept into their practice. Several practitioners also shared their frustrations around client friendly teaching tools & resources. And, that is how this idea came into existence. I truly hope that you will be able to utilize my learnings into your practice.
