Any information as to whether or not this substance causes a glycemic response (spikes your blood sugar) like sucrose, or if it attenuates this response? 0-0-0-Destruct-0 03:02, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Good question - wish I could remember off the top of my head. Trehalase in the gut is the determining step for breakdown into glucose. Its on the villi. Deficiency is rare. It would be the question of rate of release. GraemeLeggett 08:41, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
