Rapidly Available Glucose (RAG) is a superior predictor of in vivo glycaemic response compared to Glycaemic Index (GI) because it accounts for the absolute amount of glucose absorbed per serving rather than just the digestibility rate.

To better control blood sugar, look at the Rapidly Available Glucose (RAG) of foods rather than just their Glycaemic Index (GI). RAG measures the actual amount of glucose likely to be absorbed from a standard serving. For example, instant potatoes have a high GI (fast absorption) but low RAG (low total carbs per serving), whereas white rice has a moderate GI but high RAG (high total carbs). Prioritize foods with lower RAG values per serving to minimize blood glucose spikes.
