An interventional study of non-alcoholic, fiber-enriched beer (FEB) and conventional, non-alcoholic beer in Blood Glucose Concentration, Glycemic Index and Dietary Fiber, sponsored by David Faeh. Not yet recruiting. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 60 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-08-20.
Sponsored by David Faeh · Not applicable, Interventional, and Basic science
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.
This is the only study on the registry with David Faeh as lead sponsor.

Exclusion Criteria:
Other: non-alcoholic, fiber-enriched beer (FEB)
Other: conventional, non-alcoholic beer
Other: glucose solution
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).
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).
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).
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 day
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: 0-120 minutes after beverage consumption on each test day
