The GI is the index used to know how high your sugar level has risen due to the food consumed. Because of this, it seemed absolutely normal that high GI meals be taken out of a diabetic’s list and for a long time, carrots fell into this list partly because of its sweet taste. This was understandable because after consuming carrots your blood level rises to 41 on the Glycemic Index (GI). However, recent research by the Stanford University, California the Human Genetics Journal indicates that meals containing carotene like raw carrots might actually prevent or reduce type 2 diabetes. Although the researchers still call for more research into their findings, don’t stop exercising and eating carrots.
