From TVNZ this afternoon:
The world’s first “low GI” sugar is to be launched on Monday, and a nutritionist says it is the healthier alternative to white sugar.
Manufactured by CSR and marketed under the LoGiCane logo, the new formulation of sugar was developed with the aid of $5.4 million in grants from the Australian and Queensland governments.
Independent tests have put the sugar’s glycemic index (GI) at 50, compared to a GI average of 65 for white sugar.

I am managing to kep my blood sugrs relatively stable using diet alone. Last HbA1C was 6.3 compared to 7.7 mmol/l a year ago. One of my staples has been Xylotol instead of sugar. I cannot cope with the aftertaste of the artificial sweeteners. I would be interested to know whether LoGiCane will be as good as Xylotol and what price is it expected to sell at once released in NZ.
Go well. Be well.
