    Low-glycemic carbohydrates consist of fresh and canned fruits, vegetables, whole grains and legumes. Low glycemic foods have a GI index of 55 or less. Intermediate-glycemic foods have a GI index of 56 to 69.
    Carbohydrates that fall in the low-glycemic category include broccoli, cauliflower, eggplant, green beans, peanuts, low-fat yogurt, lettuce, spinach, tomatoes, peas, grapefruit, canned peaches, soy milk, pearled barley, dried apricots, cooked carrots and spaghetti.

    Thanks a lot Neha for the information. This will surely help many diabetics to plan their diets that will maintain their blood sugar levels.
