Product Description
Finally, all in one place, here are answers to the questions millions of people have about the fluctuations in their blood glucose—or blood sugar—levels In this accessible, informative new book, Dr. Jennie Brand-Miller and Kaye Foster-Powell—authors of the New York Times bestseller The New Glucose Revolution, the authoritative guide to the glycemic index—along with leading diabetes journalist Rick Mendosa, answer the most frequently asked questions about your blood glucose levels. They address a wide range of concerns, correct common misconceptions, and set out to educate how best to monitor and control glucose levels to maintain optimum health. Among the questions they address are: • What is a normal blood glucose level? • What can I do to bring down my blood glucose levels when they’re high? • Can being stressed out really have something to do with my high blood glucose? • Which carbohydrates will raise my blood glucose the least? • What is the glycemic index? • There are times when I crave something sweet. What should I have? Also included is a handy A to Z table of glycemic index values for hundreds of foods and beverages. This is an indispensable guide for everyone seeking clear, scientifically-based information about the links between food, exercise, weight, and blood glucose levels. |

Great GI book by H  5 Stars
May 27, 2007
This book is very helpful and is a straight forward approach to better understanding the GI and how it affects your body. I previoulsly read the Glycemic Revolution and was deeply disappointed by the info, and the lack of everyday application.
I do like that there is a glossary of the questions in the front so you immediately know where to skip.
From questions about prickly pear cactus and more, this book covers a lot of corners, and it explains things very well- breaking down the GI book stigma.
