I have found some diet guidelines and great recipes at http://www.lowglycemicrecipes.net. They list carb amount, calories, fat, fiber content, Glycemic Index (GI), Glyco Load (GL). I haven't seen any other sites that offer the GI and GL together in their recipes. Do you think it really matters what the GL is? It seems to make sense to me. Other recipe sources do not have this information---and these recipes look and taste really delicious. Does anyone else use this information?
I have been using and eating the GI and GL lifestyle. It is great, because it keeps my A1c normal by eating that way. For me , it is a lifesaver, and has allowed me to use diet and exercise. Occasionally, I cheat, but 90% of the time, I follow a low GL or GI regimen.
