Then we might wonder about which foods have Low Glycemic Index. As suggested by Mayo Clinic (2023: Low-glycemic index diet: What's behind the claims?), there are 3 levels of index scales:

- low Glycemic Index, scale between 1 to 55

- medium Glycemic Index, scale between 56 to 69.

- high Glycemic Index, scale between 70 to 100
