- gamblor956 10y agoIt's a misunderstanding by the journalist, since other articles and the study itself expressly stated that the researchers concluded that lychee would probably not be useful for diabetics because it doesn't address the correct glucose pathway, i.e., the liver, from which most blood glucose is generated. Fatty acid oxidation is the secondary pathway for glucose generation in the body and generally isn't responsible for blood sugar spikes.
