    What happens if you run low on glucose?
    A hormone called insulin helps move glucose from the blood to your cells. Later, when you run low on blood sugar, another hormone called glucagon tells your body to break down its backup supply of glucose. This backup supply, called glycogen, is stored in your liver and muscles. It’s turned back into glucose and released into your bloodstream.

    How do you know if a glycemic load is high or low?
    Glycemic load (GL) is another way to track glucose by considering both a food's GI and how much of it you're eating. You get GL by multiplying the amount of carbohydrates in your food by the GI and dividing that number by 100. A GL over 20 is considered high and a GL under 10 is low.

    A low-glycemic index diet is an eating plan based on how foods affect blood glucose level. The glycemic index ranks food on a scale from 0 to 100. The low end of the scale has foods that have little effect on blood sugar levels. The high end of the scale has foods with a big effect on blood sugar levels. The purpose of this diet is to choose foods less likely to raise blood sugar levels. Some low glycemic foods are green vegetables, raw carrots, berries, avocado, broccoli, meats, fish, and oils.
