FAQ
Q 1 | What’s the difference between GI and GL?
GI rates how fast carbs spike blood sugar; GL considers portion size too. These charts simplify with GI ranks plus typical net carbs per portion.
Q 2 | Is it suitable for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes?
Yes—guides support both types by helping regulate blood sugar via carb awareness and balanced meals. Always personalize with medical advice.
Q 3 | Can I write on them?
Yes—use dry-erase markers to track goals, record doses, or note favorite foods. Wipe clean when done.
Q 4 | Are they adaptable to keto or plant-based diets?
Definitely. Each chart highlights options that fit keto, vegan, and Mediterranean meal plans.
Q 5 | How should I mount them?
Pre-punched holes accommodate binder rings. Or use fridge magnets, poster tack, or pin to corkboards.
