Program Overview

What is BG-Friendly™?

The BG-Friendly™ designation is a proprietary certification mark administered by Dietary Signals™.

The BG-Friendly™ Certification Program recognizes restaurant menu items that meet defined evaluation standards designed to support blood-glucose-friendly dining.

Restaurants whose menu items meet BG-Friendly™ evaluation criteria may display the BG-Friendly™ designation on qualifying menu items to help diners identify options associated with more stable glucose responses.

Evaluation Standards

What BG-Friendly™ Means

The BG-Friendly™ designation identifies menu items that meet evaluation standards developed by Dietary Signals™.

Evaluation considers:

  • Community-reported glucose response data
  • Nutritional characteristics associated with stable blood glucose
  • Repeated validation across multiple dining experiences

Menu items meeting these criteria may display the BG-Friendly™ mark to help diners identify options that have historically produced more stable glucose responses within the community.
