Many people with
diabetes who consult with a
registered dietitian or diabetes educator use a food's glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL) as tools to help manage their daily food intake and
blood glucose levels. The digestible carbs in
Dreamfields are calculated in the same way that a food's GL is established, and thus the values of the two terms are equivalent: Dreamfields has 5 digestible
carbohydrates, or a glycemic load of 5 units, for a standard serving (2 ounces dry or about 5 ounces cooked).
