Why is a diet with a low glycemic index (GI) good for people with diabetes?

Eating a low-glycemic-index (GI) diet in which most of your carbohydrates have a low or medium GI is proving to be good for your blood sugar and other aspects of your health. There is a small but potentially important blood sugar-lowering benefit to a low-GI diet for people with diabetes. Another blood-sugar bonus is the second-meal effect.

Eating a low-GI breakfast, for example, has a carryover effect, so that the next meal, even if eaten four hours later, will have a lower impact on blood sugar than it normally would. The benefits don't end there. Following a low-glycemic-index diet may also help you drop some pounds because it's more satisfying for the calories consumed, and it has been linked to lower cholesterol levels, a lower risk of heart disease, and improved endurance during exercise.

If you can get your family to eat a low-GI diet along with you, all the better. The long-running Nurses' Health Study found that women eating a low-GI diet cut the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by nearly 60 percent, and a recent update on that study found that eating this way can even help protect those carrying a gene that puts them at high risk for the disease.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
