Answer: Glycemic Index

Step-by-step explanation:

Glycemic index can be defined as the value assigned to the foods that is based on the criteria that how fast or slow the food can increase the blood glucose level.

Higher level of blood glucose can increase the chances of cardiovascular diseases and kidney failure.

A person who is suffering from diabetes must monitor his blood glucose level regularly.

Foods having low glycemic value tend to release glucose slowly into the blood and is good for the people suffering from diabetes. Foods having high glycemic value increases the blood glucose level very fast.
