Glycemic Index Calculator
Calculate the Glycemic Index (GI) and Glycemic Load (GL) of foods to understand their impact on blood sugar levels. Make informed dietary choices for better health management.
Step 1: Food Information
Understanding Glycemic Index
Glycemic Index measures how quickly a food raises blood sugar levels. Low GI (0-55) = slow release, Medium GI (56-69) = moderate release, High GI (70+) = rapid release.
Step 2: Calculation Parameters
About Glycemic Load
Glycemic Load (GL) combines GI with carbohydrate amount to give a more accurate picture of a food’s effect on blood sugar. GL = (GI × Carbs) ÷ 100.

Glycemic Load Breakdown
Glycemic Load Formula
Glycemic Load = (Glycemic Index × Carbohydrates in grams) ÷ 100
To calculate Glycemic Load: Multiply the Glycemic Index (as a whole number) by the amount of carbohydrates in grams, then divide by 100.
GL Interpretation: Low (0-10), Medium (11-19), High (20+)
