insulin index vs glycemic index

hello,

i tried to understand the diffrent between the two indexs, for example:
if i eat high GI food, so my glucose level raise up and cause of that the insulin will raise up too.
if i eat high II food, so my insulin level raise up too.

if i eat a meal that contains high GI - my insulin will raise up
if i eat a meal that contains high II and low GI - my insulin will raise up

where is the catch?

insulin is a storage hormone so any time you eat a food item whether it is a protein, carbodhydrate or fat serum inulin levels will increase.

some foods that are low GI are high on the II, such as milk. so you can consume a food item that does not have a large effect on serum glucose levels but it does elicit a large insulin response.

ok thanks, but the thing that i dont understand:

when the glucose levels raise up in the blood so the insulin level will raise up, am i right?

so if i eat something that the GI is high - because of that the II must be high
