G'day mate,

I didn't see your original article until this evening, so maybe you
now know all you need to know. However, in case not, you can find a
fair bit on GI under "Food" on this site especially aimed at
diabetics: <http://www.mendosa.com/diabetes.htm>

There's also stuff there on "sugars" (just use the search feature to
search that site). However, I don't know if even science-oriented
consumers understand these things! At least, that's the conclusion I
come to judging by the somewhat contradictory information you can turn
up on the web on the subject of sugars. 8-)
