Effect of a Sugar Replacement on Blood Glucose Levels in Healthy Adults
Sponsor: University of Aberdeen
Summary
Diabetes and cardiovascular disease account for millions of deaths per year. One of the risk factors for both conditions is high blood sugar, particularly after eating (postprandial hyperglycaemia). Lowering blood sugar levels after a meal is expected to have a positive effect on preventing metabolic and cardiovascular diseases and improving the metabolic control of those who already suffer from these conditions. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of Oligomate® (beta-galacto-oligosaccharide) on postprandial glycaemia when used as a partial replacement of glycaemic carbohydrates in a beverage in otherwise healthy volunteers. Volunteers will be given water with either Oligomate® or glucose (control) added. Blood samples will be collected at eight time points (two before drinking the beverage and six after) to measure glucose and insulin levels.
