The glycemic response is the effect a food has on the blood glucose concentration; how quickly the glucose level rises, how high it goes, and how long it takes to return to normal. The glycemic index is a numeric measure of the glycemic response of 50 g of a food sample. The glycemic load is a food's glycemic index multiplied by the amount of carbohydrate it contains to determine impact on blood glucose levels.
