So what exactly do the numbers on the GI measure?

Good video. I'm 44 year-old man, and I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes a couple of months ago. I immediately cut out white bread, sugar, soft drinks, potatoes, pasta, white rice, etc. and replaced them with wheat bread (with no high fructose corn syrup), iced tea & snacks sweetened with Splenda (which helps tremendously). I've been losing weight - a good thing, since I'm 100 pounds overweight. I didn't know that watermelon was high glycemic, or that al dente pasta was low glycemic.

@xena576 Good question. The difference between white and sweet potateos is that sweet potatoes have more fiber and the fiber lowers the glycemic index. That is why white bread shoots your blood-sugar up fast while whole wheat doesn't. Fiber aids with digestion and makes you feel full. Eat some pancakes/waffles with fake maple syrup and an hour later you might be starving. East buckwheat pancakes with fruit and you will feel full longer.

This was wonderful explanation of what the glycemic index is. It might be worth mentioning that the sugar in fruit is fructose and (high) fructose is also in a can of soda, but there is a difference in how the two affect ones glycemic index and insulin levels.I like your videos, Natalie.
