Wheat dosa (godhuma dosa)

Measured glycemic index 61.8 ± 5.7 — medium — from Indian J Med Res 2022.

Reported value — glycemic index

61.8± 5.7 SD

Wheat dosa (godhuma dosa) was assayed at 61.8 ± 5.7 against glucose as 100, which places it in the medium band on the published divisions. The preparation tested was described as “Wheat dosa”.

For one dosa, about 90 g, carrying about 29.2 g of available carbohydrate, the glycemic load works out at about 18.1 — medium for that portion.

The band describes the food. It is a group mean from a feeding study, not a prediction of what this food will do in your blood.

Bands drawn at the published cut-points of 55 and 70. The needle marks a food’s measured glycemic index — it is a property of the food, never a reading taken from a person.

This page is reference information, not medical advice.

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.

How a glycemic index is assayed

Volunteers eat a portion of the test food containing exactly 50 g of available carbohydrate — whatever weight of that food that turns out to be.
Their blood glucose is sampled repeatedly over the following two hours, and the area under that curve is measured.
The same people are tested against 50 g of pure glucose, which scores 100 by definition. The test food's area is expressed as a percentage of it.
The published value is the group mean, and it carries a standard deviation — several of the Indian values on this site have one of five points or more.
Nothing in that sequence can be shortcut. A glycemic index cannot be derived from a composition table, so a food with no study has no glycemic index here.

GI  = (area under the food's 2 h glucose curve
       / area under 50 g glucose) x 100
GL  = GI x available carbohydrate in the portion (g) / 100

The measured value

The published glycemic index for Wheat dosa (godhuma dosa), exactly as the study reported it. GI TABLES · JUL 2026
Glycemic index (glucose = 100)	61.8 ± 5.7
Category	Medium — 56 to 69
Preparation tested	Wheat dosa
Available carbohydrate reported	32.5 g per 100 g
Glycemic load, one dosa, about 90 g	18.1 (medium)
Measured by	Shobana S, Geetha G, Ramya Bai M, et al. Carbohydrate profiling & glycaemic indices of selected traditional Indian foods. Indian J Med Res 2022;155(1):56–65.

Glycemic load arithmetic: 61.8 × 29.2 g ÷ 100 = 18.1. The carbohydrate figure comes from the same study, so the calculation stays inside one dataset.

Scope of this record

What this page is not saying

It is not saying wheat dosa (godhuma dosa) 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.

Questions this report anticipates

What is the glycemic index of wheat dosa (godhuma dosa)?

61.8 (± 5.7) against glucose as 100, which is medium. It was measured in Indian J Med Res 2022, where the tested preparation was described as "Wheat dosa". Cooking method and what else is on the plate both move the real-world response.

What is the glycemic load of wheat dosa (godhuma dosa)?

About 18.1 for one dosa, about 90 g — 61.8 × 29.2 g of available carbohydrate ÷ 100. That is a medium glycemic load for that portion.

Is wheat dosa (godhuma dosa) good for diabetes?

This site does not answer that, for any food. No food treats diabetes, and what belongs on your plate depends on your results, your medicines and your circumstances — which is a conversation with a doctor or a registered dietitian, not a web page.

General information only — NOT medical advice, and never a diagnosis. Only a doctor can interpret your results and diagnose or treat diabetes. If a reading concerns you, see a doctor rather than a website. Every threshold, equation and glycemic index value used on this site is listed with its publication on the தரவு & முறை page, and every publication is listed with its issuing body and its date in the source register.
