Glycemic Index (GI)
The glycemic index or GI ranks carbohydrates according to their effect on blood glucose levels. The lower the GI, the slower the rise in blood glucose levels will be when the food is consumed. The effect may differ from person to person.
It is recommended that people with diabetes have moderate amounts of carbohydrate and include high fibre foods that also have a low GI (not all high fibre foods have a low GI).
Some research has shown that by eating a diet with a lower GI, people with diabetes can reduce their average blood glucose levels. This is important in reducing the risk of developing diabetes-related complications.
GI numbers are to be used as a guide only as individual foods do not have the same response in all people with diabetes.
Low GI foods are foods with a GI less than 55.
Intermediate GI foods are foods with a GI between 55 and 70.
High GI foods are foods with a GI greater than 70.
The recommendation is to eat more low and intermediate GI foods, not to exclude high GI foods.
The GI is only a small part of the healthy eating plan for people with diabetes.

GIGO (garbage in, garbage out) means software can only be as good as its data. The data in this Glycemic Index contains duplicate entries with conflicting GI values, misspelled words, few brand names, etc. Example: watermelon, watermelons and water mel

Some groceries repeat on the list, and GI is not the same so you cant tell wgich one is right.

List could be half the lenght if repeats and misspelled words were removed. Gi numbers are different on repeated items, so you dont know which one is correct. Overall not bad, but needs improvement.

Thanks to the developers for sharing this application. I was wondering why an exact same item has multiple entries with different values. e.g. "Kidney beans: 43" and "Kidney beans: 23". There are so many items like that.
