Glycemic Index

The Glycemic index tells us how quickly a food is digested and how fast blood sugars elevate after eating. Its one of the metrics that everyone, not just diabetics, should be familiar with.

Pre-Diabetes

Prediabetes is also known as “impaired glucose tolerance”. It can be an early warning sign in the development of a more serious form of diabetes.

Diabetes Mellitus

Diabetes mellitus is the form that most people refer to when they think of diabetes. It is characterised by the body’s inability to lower blood glucose levels.
