Spanish term or phrase: poder glucemico
Muchas veces se eliminan de la dieta los vegetales con gusto dulce, como ser remolachas, zanahorias, calabaza, por creer que aportan muchas calorías. Pero observamos que no son más calóricos que otros. Sí hay que tener en cuenta el poder glucémico de estos alimentos; el poder glucémico es la capacidad de elevar el azúcar en sangre.

agree  Gillian Hargreaves: The glyc(a)emic index of a food is a measure of the combination of how much the food raises blood sugar levels and for how long. The highest index value is glucose with a value of 100 and other foods have an index that is a percentage of this.

glycemic load


Explanation:
Glycemic index, that has been mentioned previously, refers to the speed at which glucose is released into the bloodstream during digestion but does not take into account the quantity of carbohydrate in the food portion.

Glycemic load takes into account both of these factors and refers to the overall effect on blood sugar/glucose levels of a food portion, therefore is a better translation for "la capacidad de elevar el azúcar en sangre"


I hope that all makes sense! Not sure if I was very clear
