Glycemic Index?

[Eeyores Butterfly]

My dietician mentioned this in passing but didn't explain it to me. I keep seeing reference to it in diabetes literature and am just trying to figure out how it works. Does anybody follow this in their eating plan? How easy is it? I tried looking for a book on it at Hastings but couldn't find one.

I'm interested in trying it, but I'm nervous about adding another set of numbers to my routine. I already count Weight Watchers points and carbs, I'm not sure how many more numbers I can keep track of! LOL. Thanks for your help.
