A Case Series on an Allulose-Containing Gummy in Healthy Adults Monitored by Continuous Glucose Monitoring

Postprandial glucose levels have received increasing attention as an important marker of metabolic health, providing information beyond fasting glucose. Repeated, high-amplitude glucose spikes after meals have been associated with oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction, and glycemic variability has become a useful metric to track. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is particularly useful for capturing these changes because it allows glucose patterns to be observed continuously throughout the day rather than at isolated time points. Much of the research looking at nutrients that may help blunt postprandial glucose spikes has been conducted in controlled settings, where participants are given a fixed amount of carbohydrate, often a standard glucose or sugar drink, and their glucose response is measured. While these types of studies are useful for understanding whether an intervention can work under controlled conditions, they do not give insight into the effects of everyday behavior, when meal composition, timing, activity, and other factors are constantly changing. One sweetener that has received increasing interest within this field of study is allulose. Allulose is a rare f...
