About This Calculation

Hello Dollys has a medium glycemic load of 10.9 per serving — moderate blood sugar impact — portion size and meal composition matter.

The primary glycemic load contributors are vanilla wafer crumbs (GL 5.0), sweetened condensed milk (GL 3.2), chocolate chips (GL 2.5). These ingredients account for the majority of the carbohydrate impact per serving.

Glycemic load is calculated as GL = (GI × Net Carbs per serving) ÷ 100, where GI is the glycemic index and net carbs exclude dietary fiber. Calculations draw on established nutritional references including USDA FoodData Central values and peer-reviewed glycemic index research.
