Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the Glycemic Index (GI) and Glycemic Load (GL)?
- Glycemic Index (GI) is a ranking of carbohydrates in foods based on how they affect blood sugar levels. Foods are scored on a scale of 0 to 100.

The app provides detailed GI and GL values to help you make informed dietary decisions.
