KEY:
A score of 20 or less indicates that you are a person who can do well on lower fat / high complex carbohydrates diet, and might do well as a vegetarian, or on a Pritikin type or Ornish type diet. These diets are approx. 10% to 15% fat, 15% to 20% proteins, and 65% to 75% carbohydrates by calories. *

Those with scores of greater than 25 need diets lower in simple sugars, like sweets, alcohol and starches, but higher in protein and fats. * The higher your score, the more fastidious you should be regarding your protein to carbohydrate ratios at each meal and the more important the following tests. The "Zone Diet" of 40% complex carbohydrates, 30% protein and 30% fat is a good example of the diet you might follow.

Those with very high scores may do well to consider high protein, moderate fat, low carb strategies like the South Beach Diet, or a low hydrogenated oil revised Atkin's Diet.

Regular exercise is also a vital component in any program to optimize blood sugar control.

The higher your score, the more at risk you are for imbalances in blood sugar: hypo-glycemia, insulin resistance, and adult onset diabetes, a major disease of aging. Having your blood pressure, cholesterol, and triglycerides checked in a "cardiac risk profile" blood test is a good idea then, as high blood pressure and high blood lipids is a sign of Metabolic Syndrome. Having your doctor test your blood sugar and insulin level via a two hour post-prandial glucose challenge is indicated as well with the higher scores if middle aged or older.
