It's still sugar (or fructose), so it might metabolise more slowly but it'll still convert to sugar. Might be good for T1s who are matching their carbs to insulin but I don't see how it will help a T2 who is trying to go very low carb....
Fructose has been shown to increase fat deposits in the liver, and since a fatty liver is a major contributor to raised blood glucose and type 2 diabetes, I avoid fructose (and agave) whenever possible.
This type of trashy info is one of the reasons some people with T2 think that they can have their cake and eat it. For those of us with T2 all sugars (and there are over 40 natural and man made types) should be avoided or severely restricted from the diet.
Woman's World again. I'm beginning to notice a trend. Fake News! Just googling "agave diabetes" will give a long list of links advising against agave for diabetics and explaining why.
