Abstract:
1. A method for reducing blood glucose level increase in a human caused by consuming a carbohydrate selected from the group consisting of glucose, sucrose, high fructose corn syrup, starch, and dextrin, the method comprising the steps of: (a) providing isomaltulose as a reducer of blood glucose level increase; (b) having a human individual ingest the isomaltulose separately up to 30 minutes before consuming the carbohydrate, or simultaneously with consuming the carbohydrate, or separately after consuming the carbohydrate within a time range within which the isomaltulose and carbohydrate can be mixed in the stomach, in an amount of 5 g or more per 60 Kg of body weight of the human individual, and (c) selecting a time and amount of isomaltulose ingestion to reduce the increase in the human individual's blood glucose level in response to ingesting the isomaltulose compared to the increase in the human individual's blood glucose level absent the human individual ingesting the isomaltulose, wherein the weight of the isomaltulose has a ratio of from 10% to 50% relative to the total weight of the carbohydrate.
