Summary

This study examines how various non-alcoholic beverages affect blood sugar levels. The beverages are a non-alcoholic, fiber-enriched beer, a conventional non-alcoholic beer, and a sugar solution. Participants drink one of these beverages on different days. Afterwards, a sensor on the upper arm is used to measure the sugar content in the body fluid under the skin over a period of two hours. The aim is to find out how much blood sugar concentration rises after drinking. This will be used to check whether the non-alcoholic, fiber-enriched beer has a more favorable effect on sugar metabolism than conventional beverages. Participation is voluntary, and the data will be treated confidentially.

Conditions

• Blood Glucose Concentration
• Glycemic Index
• Dietary Fiber
• Non-alcoholic Beer

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	non-alcoholic, fiber-enriched beer (FEB)	500 ml FEB consumed once during a test day in a randomized crossover design. Postprandial blood glucose is monitored for 120 minutes using a continuous glucose monitor (FreeStyle Libre 3).
OTHER	conventional, non-alcoholic beer	500 ml conventional non-alcoholic beer consumed once during a test day in a randomized crossover design. Postprandial blood glucose is monitored for 120 minutes using a continuous glucose monitor (FreeStyle Libre 3).
OTHER	glucose solution	Glucose solution containing 12.5 g glucose in 500 ml water, consumed once during a test day in a randomized crossover design. Postprandial blood glucose is monitored for 120 minutes using a continuous glucose monitor (FreeStyle Libre 3).
