Glycemic index (GI) is a measure of how quickly the carb content of a given food makes its way into your blood as glucose. By definition, pure dextrose has a GI of 100. A food with 10g carbs and a GI of 50 would be converted into blood glucose half as quickly as 10g of pure dextrose.
If you want to understand the science of GI, though, you're pretty much out of luck. While you can find plenty of food lists with GI attached, they're derived from empirical testing - they just have a bunch of people eat the food and measure how their blood sugar reacts, then average it out. It varies from person to person and also by what foods are eaten together, so there's no known way to calculate a hard number based on a food's chemical composition.

It's the rating on foods for how long they take to break down in the body, meaning they give you more sustained energy. I am hyper glycemic, meaning I have high blood sugar, so I can only eat foods with a low glycemic index, so that my blood sugar level will stay constant, instead of it peaking, and then crashing. (That's when I usually faint or get dizzy. It's not fun. One time I felt like the house was tipping over and i was going to fall!)
