The ongoing uncertainty about whether glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL) should be considered significant dietary factors in the prevention of chronic diseases in the general population. Understanding the relationship between dietary GI and GL and type 2 diabetes mellitus is important, especially in Asian populations where carbohydrate-rich diets are prevalent.</p><p>The meta-analysis published in <i>The Lancet</i> in 2019 extensively reviewed the impact of carbohydrate quality on health. It highlighted that while low GI and low GL diets are linked to a reduced incidence of diabetes, cardiovascular mortality, stroke mortality, and breast cancer incidence, these findings were accompanied by inconsistent benefits on overall mortality and the incidence of non-communicable diseases. The study also noted variable reductions in the risk for different health outcomes based on the quality of carbohydrate intake, particularly emphasizing the significant health benefits associated with high dietary fiber and whole grain intakes<span><sup>1</sup></span>.</p><p>In 2024, a new meta-analysis was published in <i>The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology</i>, examining the associations between the GI and GL with major health outcomes such as the incidence of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, diabetes-related cancers, and all-cause mortality.

Additionally, low GI/GL diets were associated with a reduced risk of diabetes, cardiovascular mortality, and all-cause mortality.
