Low-GI foods cause blood glucose levels to increase slowly and to lower levels compared to foods with a high glycemic index. Low-GI diets are thought to help with weight control by making people feel fuller for longer and by reducing cravings for sweets. They also help diabetics and pre-diabetics control their blood sugar.
