    Under the same conditions, if the blood glucose rise index after eating glucose is taken as 100, then after eating fructose, the body's blood glucose rise index is only 23, and some can even be as low as 19, while sucrose is as high as 65 . That is to say, after eating fructose, the increase in human blood sugar is much lower than that of other traditional natural sugar products. Therefore, fructose and related products are widely used in the diet structure of diabetic patients and those with liver dysfunction.
