The rare sugar D-Allulose, when consumed in a drink before eating has been shown to reduce the blood glucose response to high carbohydrate drinks or meals in people who are healthy, or have elevated fasting blood glucose concentration. However, the effectiveness of D-allulose to suppress blood glucose concentration when added into carbohydrate containing food products has not been previously reported and as the potential use of allulose is as a sucrose replacer in foods, rather than drinks, it is important that effects and efficacy are tested in this format. The study aimed to extend understanding of the acute effects of D-allulose consumption in humans by testing whether post-eating blood glucose concentration can be modified by the presence of D-allulose in a high carbohydrate breakfast and collecting data on any adverse gastrointestinal effects of consuming D-allulose.
