The glycemic index of the products consumed by a person directly affects the level of sugar in the blood. According to Dr. Ralph Abraham, a specialist in diabetes and endocrinology at King Edward VII Hospital, some vegetables that many people eat on a daily basis have a high glycemic index.

“Tomatoes and potatoes tend to be considered high glycemic index, while sweet potatoes, which have a sweeter taste, have a lower glycemic index,” the doctor explained. At the same time, he clarified that tomatoes can vary greatly in terms of sugar content, so it is necessary to take into account the variety of tomato and the degree of its maturity.
