Effect of garlic on glucose level<\/h2>\n

People who have diabetes cannot produce enough insulin or use the insulin their body does produce efficiently. This can affect your blood sugar levels. It\u2019s essential to monitor what you eat to keep your blood sugar levels as steady as possible.<\/p>\n

One way to do this is by checking the glycemic index (GI) score of each food. The GI shows how much a certain diet can increase your blood sugar levels. GI helps with the planning of daily meals and avoiding high-carbohydrate combinations. A low GI is between 1 and 55, and a high is 70 and above.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to know that natural foods, such as garlic can influence blood sugar levels, though not rich in carbohydrates.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
