For a long time, researchers working in the field of treating diabetes have tried to find carbohydrates that diabetics can absorb better than cane sugar and starch, and these attempts have, to some extent, been successful. The study of the assimilation of various carbohydrates has shown that in milder forms of diabetes, the tolerance to levulosa is significantly greater than to grape sugar. However, when large amounts of levulose are given for a long time, the tolerance in it begins to fall.
