Researchers from Sun Yat-Sen University in China examined the longitudinal associations between changes in glycemic load (GL) and the incidence of diabetes among pre-diabetic patients. Their results were published in the journal Nutrition Research.
Based on these findings, the researchers concluded that GL reduction is associated with a lower diabetes risk in pre-diabetic patients with a high dietary GL, while in patients with pre-diabetes and a low dietary GL, further reductions in GL do not have any additional effects.
