ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method for reducing the postprandial glycemic excursion to carbohydrates by feeding supplemental fructose prior to the carbohydrate challenge. The unit does of fructose required to blunt the postprandial glycemic excursion is from about 2 grams to about 30 grams fructose. The fructose source is consumed from about 10 to about 90 minutes before a meal.
