A simple Google search reveals that levulose is another name for fructose.The calories in Fructose per 9g(1tbsp) is 33 calories. Fructose is calculated to be 368Cal per 100 grams making 80Cal equivalent to 21.74g with 8.99g of mostly carbohydrates、0g of fat、0g of protein in 9g while being rich in vitamins and minerals such as
What is the impact of levulose on blood sugar levels ? what are the implications for calorie management?
levulose is being projected as a natural sugar substitute and promoted by certain sweet manufacturers. the question is is it safe for diabetics ?
Answer:
Not safe. It has the same impact as table sugar... 4 calories per gram. Levulose is, in fact, simply another name for fructose.... a monosaccharide (sugar).
The answer below is misleading. Look it up yourself:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fructose
Levulose (fructose) and glucose are what make up table sugar (sucrose). Levulose is favored by many over sucrose because it has a lower glycemic index (takes longer to raise your blood sugar) because it is metabolized (converted) by the liver. But it STILL raises blood sugar.... therefore, it's NOT safe for diabetics. As with all foods, prudence must be exercised.
If you want details, there's plenty available: "The products of fructose metabolism in the glycolytic pathway of the liver are GLUCOSE, GLYCOGEN (which is later converted to glucose), lactate, and pyruvate."

So, while suresh k is correct in that fructose doesn't require insulin "for its metabolism" initially, it is converted into glucose and glycogen which most certainly will need insulin in order to be utilized by the body's cells. He's also dead wrong implying that there are fewer calories in fructose.... calories are the same for ALL sugars.... 4 calories per gram.
I'm not trying to make an example out of this sadly misinformed fellow, just want to get people to do their own research on
such an important issue as sugar consumption in diabetics. It's vital that you research it yourself and not trust answers you read here.

I collected this information from yahoo answers while checking out this brand called Dezire Sweetener. They also have put their agents on quora to promote their product.
Now, as per the first link mentioned in this article, a study was conducted on 30 diabetes patients with rasgulla sweetened with dezire.
We already know that rasgulla is made of chenna (soft paneer) which has negligible effect on blood sugar.So obviously, there won't be much implications on blood sugar levels.
But this company is selling other sweets like laddus and jahangir which is made of suji, flour,etc which definitely will cause a rise in blood sugar.
