GI News – July 2017

While people have a lot of opinions about carbs, they often don’t know what they are, where they come from or what they do in our bodies. So, we go back to basics in Food for Thought and cover some common FAQs; Dr Alan Barclay explains why you don’t have to adopt a low carb diet if you have diabetes in Perspectives; and SUGiRS shares a swag of new GI values. As National Diabetes Week 2017 kicks off on July 9, we chose Jim Young’s poem, “I am not diabetic” to help raise awareness and understanding.
