Joanne Greco-Fiore - What Is The Glycemic Index?
In this video, Joanne Greco-Fiore of the Scarborough Health Network explains what she means when she talks about the glycemic index.
Simply put, the glycemic index is a way to measure the quality of carbohydrates.
The higher the glycemic index score, the bigger an impact it will have on your blood sugars.
This can help to identify which carbs are good and which are bad, which can be a huge help for people who are watching what they eat and for diabetes patients as well.
The Scarborough Health Network has sponsored the creation of over a hundred educational videos for type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease.

In 2022, this YouTube channel was rebranded as Manitoba Moonshot.
The Manitoba Moonshot is a front-row seat watching one Canadian family trying to end type 2 diabetes.
This channel will highlight stories from the Lautt family, ask tough questions about access to health care for marginalized communities, and feature exclusive interviews with Canadians from all walks of life — especially those living with type 2 diabetes.
