I'm type 1 diabetic and after being given some samples of UCAN and seeing how slow the blood sugar raise was, I was sold on the product, so their claims are legit, it does triggers less insulin which makes you metabolize more fat during your training and racing.
I'm also on a very low carb diet (30-60g day) and use it as a 'carbo load' the day before sprint races. Find it easier to stick to the usual diet to add a few scoops in one day rather than eat the carbs again and lose control. Wrote some of my experiences here, managed some decent results in sprint races including sub 1h sprints, would love to go long again as I think it could help me improve my PB (8h50) on the ironman distance but dont quite have the time right now:
