Diabetes: The ‘favourable’ fruit to significantly lower blood sugar levels ‘over time’
All products, including the control, contained 31 grams of carbohydrates and similar sugar components.
Blood samples were taken before the meal, then 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120 and 180 minutes after the meal.
Researchers looked at glucose levels, insulin and free fatty acids.
