Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Postprandial Hyperglycemia

Other: Mango
Other: Blackcurrant
Other: Rose hip
Other: Glucose drink
Other: Bilberry
Registration Number
NCT03159065
Lead Sponsor
Lund University
Brief Summary

Consumption of polyphenol-rich fruits and vegetables may improve the postprandial glucose and insulin responses and hence promote well-being. It has previously been observed that consumption of a bilberry drink decreases the postprandial insulin demand. In the present study, the impact of probiotic fruit beverages with different polyphenol profiles on the postprandial levels of glucose and insulin, were investigated.
