Today the data on GI and GL are very limited to raw foods and some meals. Clinical trials are often required to ascertain the GI/GL measurement of foods. To do that, 10 individuals eat tested food and their blood-glucose level is measured 2 hours afterwards. The results are compared with a pure sugar drink and the conclusion is drawn. However with today's digital health tools like continuous glucose monitoring (approved by FDA in 2018), it's easy to collect this data on a mobile app by any individuals who use this device, often diabetic group.
