The Claim

In healthy adults with elevated fasting glucose, consuming 10 grams of allulose with a 75-gram carbohydrate rice meal reduces postprandial glucose incremental area under the curve by 28%, reduces insulin incremental area under the curve by 30%, and increases plasma GLP-1 total area under the curve by 12%.

These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.

How it works
1 study reviewed
In plain English

When healthy adults with high fasting blood sugar eat rice with 10 grams of allulose, their blood glucose and insulin levels rise less after the meal, and a hormone called GLP-1 increases by a measurable amount.

See the scientific wording

In healthy adults with elevated fasting glucose, consuming 10 grams of allulose with a 75-gram carbohydrate rice meal significantly reduces postprandial glucose incremental area under the curve by 28% and insulin incremental area under the curve by 30%, while increasing plasma GLP-1 total area under the curve by 12%, suggesting a dual mechanism of reduced glucose absorption and enhanced incretin secretion.

Why this might work

Allulose blocks sugar from entering the bloodstream through the gut lining and triggers a gut hormone that tells the pancreas to release less insulin, which together lowers blood sugar after eating.

  1. Study: Differential Modulation of Postprandial Glycemic, Incretin, and Satiety Responses by Low-Digestible Carbohydrates in Humans: An Exploratory Investigation

    When people with slightly high blood sugar ate rice with 10 grams of allulose, their blood sugar and insulin didn’t spike as much, and their body made more of a helpful hormone called GLP-1 — just like the claim said.
