How can those with diabetes use the “digestible carbs” in Dreamfields to manage their carbohydrate intake?
A. Many people with diabetes who consult with a registered dietitian or diabetes educator use a food’s glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL) as tools to help manage their daily food intake and blood glucose levels. The digestible carbs in Dreamfields are calculated in the same way that a food’s GL is established, and thus the values of the two terms are equivalent: Dreamfields has 5 digestible carbohydrates, or a glycemic load of 5 units, for a standard serving (2 ounces dry or about 5 ounces cooked).
