Can individuals with high blood sugar consume foods containing trehalose?

Individuals with high blood glucose levels may consume products containing trehalose. Trehalose is a food additive with relatively low sugar content—approximately half that of glucose and sucrose. Therefore, consuming trehalose-containing foods does not significantly raise blood glucose levels. Moreover, trehalose is derived from seaweed and contains vitamin B2, which offers certain benefits for patients with cerebrovascular disease. However, excessive intake of trehalose within a short period is not recommended, as it may increase the metabolic burden on the body.
