Glycemic Load (GL) measures the rate at which food is turned into glucose for energy via insulin.
Â
Fruits and vegetables are a crucial part of a healthy diet to maintain balanced glucose and insulin levels and help avoid the onset of PCOS-linked disorders like pre- and type 2Â diabetes. But both food groups have differing GL ratings, which affect those levels. So which are most helpful?
Â
This week we show you the best fruits. There are many fruits that are very low in GL and have little impact on blood sugar. A low GL value is considered 10 or less.
Â
One 4-ounce serving of the following fruits all have a GL value of less than 10.
