Adopting low glycaemic index (GI) or low glycaemic load (GL) dietary patterns results in small but clinically significant improvements in glycaemic control (HbA1c) and cardiometabolic risk factors (lipids, inflammation, adiposity) for adults with moderately controlled type 1 and type 2 diabetes, even when concurrent with standard pharmacotherapy.

If you have type 1 or type 2 diabetes, switching to a low GI or GL diet can help lower your HbA1c and improve cholesterol and inflammation, even if you are already taking diabetes medication. You don't need to change everything at once; focus on replacing high-GI carbohydrates (like white bread and sugary drinks) with lower-GI options (like legumes and whole grains). This approach is safe, effective, and works alongside your current treatment plan to help you reach your health goals.
