Answer 1

A. How much a food affects blood sugar levels.
You seeeee~ the glycemic index, or GI, measures how a carbohydrate-containing food raises blood glucose.
Foods are ranked based on how they compare to a reference food — either glucose or white bread. A food with a high GI raises blood glucose much more than a food with a medium or low GI...
