Determine the interpersonal variability of postprandial blood glucose response and examine the effects of the following influencing factors: diet, anthropometric data, lifestyle, physical activity, sleep, and microbiome composition.<br>b. Comparison of a German cohort with existing Swiss cohorts.<br>c. Assist in the development of a new algorithm to predict PPGR using data readily available (i.e., low user effort and affordable) via such a digital cohort.<br>
