Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:
Non-PRO (1): Yvonne Gallagher
When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

"We often hear about the glycemic index of food but what does this mean exactly? The glycemic index (GI) was originally developed to help improve blood sugar control for diabetics.
It is a numerical index ranging from 0 to 100 that ranks carbohydrate-rich foods according to their effect on blood sugar levels. Foods are considered low on the scale if the GI is 55 or less, medium if it's 56 to 69, or high if it's 70 to 100. The reference point is pure glucose or a slice of white bread, which is ranked at 100.
The higher the GI number, the greater the rise in blood sugar; this leads to a mid-day crash, at which time you'll grab another high glycemic food for energy and this in turn exacerbates the high-glycemic cycle.

: disagree - see comments - we generally tend to talk about hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia but not generally 'glycemia' in a medical setting - something which mentions a series or cycle of blood glucose tests would seem more appropriate

blood glucose profile
(24-hour) blood glucose profile (or blood sugar profile) seems to be most common, based on Google. Other terms are used as well.
Whatever you choose, you should be aware that there are different types of series or profiles (for example, post prandial). I don't know whether or not "cycle glycémique" would always refer to a 24-hour cycle, but if so, consider to include "24-hour" with your term of choice.
What is a blood glucose profile?
A blood glucose profile is a “snapshot” of your blood glucose fluctuations throughout the day to see how well your background and bolus doses of insulin are working for you.

https://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/26/2/548
The blood sugar profile is a record of blood sugar levels with associated events; meals, exercise, sleep, time of day, medication, etc.
