Question

A _____ is a measure of how much a typical serving size of a particular food raises blood glucose.​

Answer 1

Answer: Glycemic load

This takes into account the amount of carbohydrates present in the food and how much it will raise a person's blood glucose level after eating a typical serving size meal. Glycemic load combines both the quantity and quality of carbohydrates based on the glycemic index where it is calculated by multiplying the grams of available carbohydrate in the food times the food's glycemic index and then dividing by 100. Moreover, it is also used to compare blood glucose values of different types and amounts of foods based on the carbohydrate consumed by an individual.

Answer 2

The correct answer is glycemic load.
In particular, glycemic load estimates the amount of carbohydrates in a serving of food and how each gram of these carbohydrates can affect the blood glucose. It is a measure commonly used in weight-loss programmes and in dietary programs used to treat insulin resistance. It has been shown that common spikes of blood glucose and insulin levels, increase the risk for diabetes.
