Calculate Glycemic Load & Index
Global Glycemic Load Guide 2025 (WHO Standards)
International Medical Recommendations:
- • Diabetes (Global): Aim for GL ≤ 15 per meal
- • Weight Loss (All Regions): Focus on low GL foods for satiety
- • PCOS (Worldwide): Low GL improves insulin sensitivity
- • General Health: Maintain daily GL under 100
- • Indian Diet: Focus on basmati rice, whole grains, legumes
- • Western Diet: Choose whole grains over refined carbs
Global Medical Guide to Glycemic Index & Load 2025
Clinical Importance of Glycemic Load Worldwide
Glycemic Load (GL) is the preferred clinical metric over Glycemic Index alone because it accounts for both carbohydrate quality and quantity. This makes GL essential for diabetes management across different countries and dietary patterns.
Diabetes Management Global
Low GL meals (≤10) prevent postprandial hyperglycemia and reduce HbA1c levels. American Diabetes Association recommends GL monitoring for all diabetics worldwide.
Regional Food Variations
GI values vary by region due to food varieties and preparation methods. Our calculator includes local values for India, USA, Europe, Middle East, and Asia for accurate calculations.
Weight Management Global
Low GL foods promote satiety, reduce calorie intake, and support sustainable weight loss through improved appetite control across different cuisines.
Ethnic Dietary Patterns
GL directly impacts insulin sensitivity in different ethnic populations. Low GL diets are first-line intervention for metabolic syndrome and PCOS globally.
Evidence-Based Global Clinical Applications
Our calculator uses evidence-based GI values from international authorities:
- • World Health Organization (WHO) - International reference standards
- • American Diabetes Association (ADA) - Clinical practice guidelines
- • ICMR India - Indian Council of Medical Research standards
- • NHS UK - National Health Service guidelines
- • Health Canada - Canadian food composition data

Regional Glycemic Index Variations
Key Regional Differences:
- • Basmati Rice: GI 58 (vs regular white rice GI 73)
- • Whole Wheat Chapati: GI 52 (vs white bread GI 75)
- • Lentils (Dal): GI 32 (excellent for diabetes)
- • Sourdough Bread: GI 54 (vs white bread GI 75)
- • Oatmeal: GI 55 (good complex carbohydrate)
- • Sweet Potato: GI 54 (better than white potato)
