I am able to reproduce it here courtesy of the author, Professor Jennie Brand-Miller of the University of Sydney. It is based on a table in different format but no more foods published December 2008 in Diabetes Care. However, only the abstract is free online there. GI of 55 is low; GL of 10 is low. This table includes the glycemic index and glycemic load of more than 2,480 individual food items. The glycemic index (GI) is a numerical system of measuring how much of a rise in circulating blood sugar a carbohydrate triggers–the higher the number, the greater the blood sugar response. The glycemic load (GL) is a relatively new way to assess the impact of carbohydrate consumption that takes the glycemic index into account, but gives a fuller picture than does glycemic index alone. Foods that have a low GL almost always have a low GI. Both GI and GL are listed here. Glycemic Index & Glycemic Load Rating Chart
