Answer to Question 1

Foods with high glycemic index tend to raise blood glucose and insulin levels more than do foods with low glycemic index, and high-glycemic index foods lead to more episodes of hyperglycemia (high blood glucose level) than do diets providing mainly low-glycemic index carbohydrates.
