The use of the glycemic index was developed at the University of Toronto to help patients with diabetes find a carbohydrate diet that was suitable for them. It is a measurement of carbohydrates in foods to see how quickly those carbohydrates are broken down. A high glycemic index food breaks carbohydrates down quickly while a low glycemic index food breaks it down slowly.
