South Beach Diet, Diabetes Library

South Beach Diet: The South Beach diet plan is one based on the glycemic index. The index is based on how fast the body converts a specific carbohydrate to a sugar, which can then enter the bloodstream and possibly upset the body’s blood glucose level. The lower the glycemic index number, the longer it takes for the food to add to the body’s blood sugar level. Stable blood sugar levels are very important to a diabetic sufferer. Do not start any diabetic diet plan without first seeing your doctor or health care provider.
