About this trial
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.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Incremental Area Under the Curve (iAUC) for Postprandial Blood Glucose
Incremental area under the curve for interstitial glucose concentration measured over 120 minutes after beverage consumption. Measurements obtained via continuous glucose monitoring (FreeStyle Libre 3) in a randomized crossover design.
Time frame
0-120 minutes after beverage consumption on each test daySecondary outcomes

Glycemic Index of Fiber-Enriched Beer (FEB)
Glycemic index calculated using the incremental area under the curve for blood glucose after consumption of FEB, compared to glucose solution, according to ISO 26642:2010 methodology.
Time frame
