Glycemic index and glycemic load of cereals and flour for diabetic patients

Whole grains tend to have lower glycemic index values than processed grains because they contain more fiber and minerals that slow down digestion.

Whole grains may also provide additional nutrients including iron, zinc and vitamins which would not be available from refined starches like white breads and pastas.
