This study investigated the effects of three commonly used sugar-free snacks with added sweeteners on glycemic responses
This study aimed at 1. to determine the glycemic index and glycemic load of three sugar-free products with added sweeteners: apricot jam, cranberry cereal bar, and cocoa drink, and 2. to investigate the effects of these products on the postprandial glycemic response in healthy subjects

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Glucose as reference food | Experimental | Twelve healthy, normal weight subjects (male: 6, female: 6) after 10-14 hr fast, consumed 25g available carbohydrate from D-glucose, three times, in different weeks as reference food along with 250ml water; and 25g available carbohydrates from white bread, white bread and apricot jam, cereal bar with cranberries, and cocoa drink, tested once, in different weeks along with 250ml water or 500ml fat-free milk for the cocoa drink. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples were taken at baseline, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120min. The first glucose sample was taken exactly 15min after the first bite of food or drink. |

| Glucose as reference food | Other | Twelve healthy, normal weight subjects (male: 6,female: 6) after 10-14 hr fast, consumed 25g glucose diluted in 250ml water, tested twice, in different weeks, within 5-10min. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples were taken at baseline, 15, 30, 45,60, 90 and 120min. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Capillary blood glucose responses | Clinically useful change in blood glucose, defined as the restoration of glucose within normal limits during the 2hr glucose tolerance test | 2 hours |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Subjective appetite ratings | Useful change in subjective appetite using visual analogue scales with a score 0 to 10 (given in the form of booklet,one scale per page) at baseline, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 min. The minimum or maximum score will be evaluated if it is better or worse depending on the appetite variable e.g hunger, satiety, desire to eat etc. | 2 hours |
