No published glycemic index exists for this food. Glycemic index is measured by feeding a food to volunteers and sampling their blood — it cannot be derived from composition — so this page leaves it blank rather than guessing.
Nothing here can diagnose you, and nothing here is a treatment plan. Blood glucose results are interpreted by a doctor alongside your history, your symptoms and a repeat test — a single number on a screen is not a diagnosis. If any reading concerns you, or if you feel unwell, see a doctor rather than a website.
Why there is no glycemic index here
Glycemic index is not a property you can read off a nutrition label. It is produced by giving volunteers a portion of the food containing 50 g of available carbohydrate, sampling their blood repeatedly for two hours, and comparing the result against pure glucose. If nobody has run that study for suji ka halwa, there is no glycemic index for suji ka halwa.
Other sites print one anyway. The values are usually borrowed from a superficially similar food, or simply invented. For a subject where readers are making decisions about diabetes, that is not a small thing — which is why this page carries a blank where a fabricated number would go.

What this page is not saying
It is not saying suji ka halwa is good or bad for blood sugar, and it is not recommending or discouraging it. No food treats diabetes and no food causes it on its own. Meals are eaten in combination, portions differ, and people differ.
If you have diabetes, prediabetes, or a result that worries you, what belongs on your plate is a conversation with a doctor or a registered dietitian who has seen your reports.
