Sorbitol
Sorbitol is a natural sweetener with a great deal of benefits. As sorbitol is not a carbohydrate, it has practically no effect on blood glucose level. In persons with diabetes mellitus, sorbitol is taken up better than glucose. Due to its ability to turn to fructose in human body this sweetener does not require insulin secretion for this process. In addition, it promotes glycogen accumulation in liver, rather than in muscle tissues, thus providing glucose supply to other tissues. Sorbitol also has antiketogenic activity and is of interest for use in diabetics due to disposition of patients with diabetes mellitus to ketoacidosis.
