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

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.
Twelve healthy, normal weight subjects (male: 6,female: 6) after 10-14 hr fast, consumed 25g available carbohydrates from white bread along with 250ml water, tested once, in different weeks, within 10-15min. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples were taken at baseline, 15, 30, 45,60, 90 and 120min.
Twelve healthy, normal weight subjects (male: 6,female: 6) after 10-14 hr fast, consumed 25g available carbohydrates from white bread together with apricot jam along with 250ml water, tested once, in different weeks, within 10-15min. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples were taken at baseline, 15, 30, 45,60, 90 and 120min.

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
Time frame: 2 hours
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.
Time frame: 2 hours
