[Why] Whole grains, beans, vegetables, and fruit help keep blood sugar levels stable because their low glycemic index does not cause blood sugar to spike. Eating carbohydrate-containing foods , whether high in sugar or high in starch (such as bread, potatoes, processed breakfast cereals, and rice), temporarily raises blood sugar and insulin levels.26 The blood sugar-raising effect of a food, called its "glycemic index," depends on how rapidly its carbohydrate is absorbed. Many starchy foods have a glycemic index similar to table sugar (sucrose).27Beans, peas, fruit, and oats have low glycemic indexes, despite their high carbohydrate content, due mostly to the health-promoting effects of soluble fiber . Controlled studies have found that people with type 1 diabetes who follow a low-glycemic-index diet have better long-term control over their blood sugar levels compared with those following a high-glycemic-index diet.28 However, other studies find similar benefits from training patients to adjust their insulin doses according to the total carbohydrate content of each meal or snack ("carbohydrate counting").29 People with type 1 diabetes should always discuss changes in their diet with their treating physician.
