Pre-Diabetic Study Shows RD43 Rice Reduced Insulin Resistance and Visceral Fat Without Calorie Restriction

This New Form of Japanese Rice Does NOT Spike Insulin (and shrinks waist circumference)
What was said
"34 pre-diabetic people swapped their normal rice for RD43, two meals per day for 12 weeks. By the end, the RD43 group had significant drops in fasting glucose, drops in fasting insulin, drops in HBA1C, but their homir, their direct measurement of insulin resistance dropped. They also lost weight. They lost fat and they lost waist circumference, which means they probably lost visceral fat."
A 12-week trial published in Food and Function showed that pre-diabetic individuals who replaced regular rice with RD43 experienced significant metabolic improvements including reduced fasting glucose, insulin, and HbA1c levels, along with fat loss particularly around the waist. Researchers noted the improvements appeared to come from the starch structure change itself rather than reduced caloric intake, suggesting the rice variety actively altered metabolic outcomes beyond simple calorie reduction.
