The Claim
Low-starch high-fiber pasta reduces postprandial blood glucose levels in both healthy individuals and individuals with type 2 diabetes.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Eating pasta made with low starch and high fiber lowers blood sugar after meals, and this effect occurs in people with and without type 2 diabetes.
See the scientific wording
The glycemic benefit of low-starch high-fiber pasta is observed in both healthy individuals and those with type 2 diabetes, indicating that its glucose-lowering effect is not limited to metabolically impaired populations.
This pasta has less of the easy-to-digest carbs and more fiber, which makes it take longer for your body to break down and absorb the sugar from it. As a result, sugar enters your bloodstream more slowly, so your blood sugar doesn't spike as high after eating.

1 studyStudy: Impact of low-starch high-fiber pasta on postprandial blood glucose.
This study found that eating a special kind of pasta with less starch and more fiber lowers blood sugar after meals, and it works just as well for healthy people as it does for people with diabetes.
