Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disease that increases blood glucose levels above normal due to abnormal insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. The purpose of this study is to determine the glycemic index (IG) of several types of food. The method of this study was observational with cross-sectional study design. The results showed that the lowest GI was young corn (IG 34), kepok banana (IG 46), cassava (IG 46), Havermuth (IG 48), sweet potato (IG 51), and taro (IG 54). Head rice has a high GI, which is 78. This study concludes that the lowest GI is young IG 34 and the highest is rice, having IG 78. This study is expected as a strategy in the selection of low-GI food ingredients as a preventive measure dm.
