Abstract
Background: Consistent consumption of a diet with a high glycemic index (GI) increases the risk of type 2 diabetes and associated chronic diseases. As such, it is critical to know the GI of foods and make informed choices to prevent them. Unfortunately, the GI of commonly consumed foods in Benin has not been determined.
