08 Jan 2020 --- Ketone monoester drinks, a new food supplement, may prove a viable way to help control blood sugar in people with diabetes or pre-diabetes. This is according to new research from the University of British Columbia’s (UBC) Okanagan Campus in Canada. Interest in ketone beverages and supplements is rising, yet there is little research on how they can influence metabolism and evaluate ketones’ benefits for diabetics. The findings may prove useful in developing alternative ways to manage diabetes via supplementation, as opposed to taking pills or undergoing insulin injections. However, there are still hurdles in development concerning the products’ taste, the researchers note.
