This master list brings together every food in the encyclopedia and how it behaves for blood sugar. Rather than a simple "yes/no", each food is rated across three control levels, because a portion that is fine when your HbA1c is well controlled may need trimming when it is high.

After a meal, carbohydrate is broken down to glucose and absorbed into the blood; insulin then helps move it into cells. Foods that release glucose slowly produce a smaller, steadier rise. HbA1c reflects your average blood sugar over roughly the past three months. It is the anchor for the three control levels used throughout this site.
