2. Acarbose decreases postprandial glycemia in humans (type 2 diabetes mellitus with secondary sulfamide resistance).

   “High confidence level decrease in postprandial glycemia was recorded as was significant reduction in diurnal glucosuria.”

1. D-allulose decreases postprandial glycemia in humans.

   “controlled human studies support modest attenuation of postprandial glycemia and, in some settings, insulin responses.”

1. Standing showed no clear effect on postprandial glycemia in humans after breakfast (β = -4.5 mg/dl/2 hr, 95% CI [-17.3, 8.4]).

   “A generalized linear model revealed no significant differences for the incremental area under the curve of glucose between standing for 10 min, 30 min after breakfast, versus prolonged sitting after breakfast”
