I usually use hcbd but it can get expensive if u use a lot each day. I was wondering if one can just use cream of rice instead because it's powdered form. You can actually make ur own from rice put in coffee grinder. Hbcd if u looked below can be made with rice. If I'm reading correct...
can this be suitable for humalog or is this best for longer acting slins.
Highly branched cyclic dextrins (HBCDs) are synthetically produced homopolysaccharides made from the starch isolated from barley, corn, potatoes, or rice. HBCDs have low osmolarity and high molecular weights — this unique structure allows for an even faster transit time versus other simple sugars. Unlike waxy starch, HBCDs are not arranged in linear structures. By changing the structure of the amylopectin through enzymatic processes, this increases the extent of branching and cross-linking and creates unique cyclic structures of branched linked units. Unlike linear chains, the cyclic structures allow for greater access of digestive enzymes that can break apart the bonds faster, passing through the digestive system quicker and providing a sustained release of glucose to the body. In a recent study, research in humans showed that a drink containing a 10-per cent solution of branched-chain cyclic dextrin accelerated stomach emptying much more rapidly versus a drink containing 10-per cent maltodextrin
