Hence, choosing a low glycaemic index (GI) food often becomes a priority for diabetics. GI measures how a carbohydrate-containing food raises blood glucose levels. Food with low GI (55 or less) are more slowly digested, absorbed and metabolised. This leads to a lower and slower rise in blood glucose levels. Prohance D is a low GI product with a value of 33 for chocolate flavour, and 37 for vanilla flavour. This fact makes it an appropriate choice for diabetics.
