Glycaemic Index for Diabetes

GLYCAEMIC INDEX FOR DIABETES, BAD BOYS & THE REST

The glycaemic index measures the speed at which a particular food raises blood glucose levels. Diabetics are well aware of the benefits of foods with a low glycaemic index which maintain stable blood glucose levels over many hours. The same issue is relevant to children and to the rest of us because foods with a high index can encourage mood swings, tiredness, irritability and aggression as well as a craving for sweet tasting food. Sourdough and wholemeal bread have the lowest glycaemic index and processed white bread the highest.

We are very proud that a local School for boys with special needs is now one of our best clients for our loaves.
