high-glycaemic

[КАтя]

Пожалуйста, помогите перевести.

Слово встречается в следующем контексте:

Simple carbohydrates are also described as high-glycaemic carbohydrates
Заранее спасибо

[gogolesque]

well hypo-glycaemic means you have problems with blood sugar levels dropping below normal... so maybe these are sugar carbohydrates....
but how to translate? hmmm?

[КАтя]

yeah, only blood sugar raises above normal

but that's the thing, how to translate, ha?..

This would refer to the new diet craze - where all carbs are rated by how quickly they are broken down into sugars and absorbed into the blood stream - slowly, at a medium rate or high rate . so you have High Glyca(e)mic Index Carbs, MGI Carbs, LGI Carbs - dieticians often push for the LGIs since they don't create a huge amount of sugars rushing into your blood, and keep you satiated for longer, since they break down slowly.
Here is an example of GLI carb. tables:

if blood sugar goes above normal, why do hypo-glycaiemics drink juice or suck a candy when they feel like they are going to faint (lose concsiousness, etc...)?
i know its really OFF topic, but if you know the answer, please tell me.... i am truly interested in knowing

This website seems to discuss this in detail: http://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/bhcv2/bhcarticles.nsf/pages/Carbohydrates_and_the_glycaemic_index?OpenDocument

"The body converts any excess glucose from food into another form called glycogen.
Carbohydrate-containing foods are rated on a scale called the glycaemic index (GI). This scale ranks carbohydrate-containing foods based on their immediate effect on blood sugar levels. The GI compares carbohydrate-containing foods gram-for-gram of carbohydrate.
"
Perhaps it shoudl be translated as гликогенный индекс

[Serahanne]

то есть в Вашем случае это будут "углеводы с высоким гликогенным индексом"

Спасибо, Serahanne, вы маг и волшебник!оч.помогли!

gogolesque, я не специалист, но, например, если диабетики (а у них уровень сахара в крови, как известно, выше нормы)пропускают прием пищи, то у них кружится голова и they feel like they are going to faint. Но при это уровень сахара все равно выше нормы. Просто у них уже своя норма, наверное. может быть относительно здесь теаое же объяснение?

Катя: You are very welcome! :))
