Are glycemic index diet and diabetic diet the same?
By admin on Feb 17, 2010 in Diabetes diet advice
I was wondering since the glycemic index diet controls the sugar in your body, would diabetic cooking be the same? The reason why I ask, is because it is not as easy to get g.i diet cookbooks, but diabetic cookbooks are really easy to get and I also have a few diabetic cookbooks already and wanted to know if they are the same, because I was thinking that they are similar diets.

They are not the same, but a low G.I. diet is excellent for anyone, including diabetics.
It stops sugar levels spiking and is very healthy.
It is worth the effort to find one.
Plenty of info on www

Unfortunately their not the same. Many diabetic cookbooks or their recipes are not good for a diabetic. A glycemic index way of eating is one of the best. The best Glycemic Index on the web is : It contains a list of 2,480 foods and their index and loads.
So just use the Glycemic Index when you decide what recipes you want. Cross checking will let you know how great your Diabetic cookbook is.
