Scientists have found that including one extra low glycemic index food per meal helps lower blood sugar, thereby slightly lowering the chances of diabetes. The British Dietetic Association warned of over reliance on the diet, since ice cream is also low on the glycemic index. A spokeswoman for the charity, Diabetes UK says that the low GI diet is the only one they endorse. Health professionals were encouraged by the study, but stressed that consumption of a low GI food should be made part of a balanced diet.
