What is the prebiotic soda study trying to find out about blood glucose control?

This study is evaluating how replacing traditional non-diet soda with a prebiotic soda affects blood sugar control in adults with glucose dysregulation. Researchers want to understand if the prebiotic soda influences markers related to blood sugar and metabolic health. The study is sponsored by Olipop, PBC and aims to learn more about diet's role in managing blood glucose.

Who may be eligible for this blood glucose control clinical trial?

Adults aged 30 to 70 who regularly consume 2 to 3 servings of traditional non-diet soda daily may be eligible. Participants should have a body mass index between 25 and 35 kg/m² and blood sugar levels indicating glucose dysregulation. The study accepts all genders. Please review eligibility criteria for more details.

Is there any cost to participate in this blood glucose control clinical trial?

Study-related care, including the study product and all trial visits, is provided at no cost. However, personal travel expenses may vary and are not guaranteed to be covered during participation.

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are investigating the effects of replacing traditional non-diet soda with a prebiotic soda called OLIPOP on blood sugar control in adults who regularly consume traditional sodas and have glucose regulation issues. This study focuses on adults aged 30 to 70 with glucose dysregulation to see how this change impacts markers related to blood sugar control over time. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups one group will replace their usual soda intake with 2 cans per day of OLIPOP prebiotic soda, providing 12 grams of dietary fiber daily, while the other group will continue their normal consumption of traditional non-diet soda at 2 to 3 servings per day. The study lasts for 8 weeks, during which the effects on fasting plasma glucose and other markers of metabolic health will be assessed. Throughout the study, participants will be monitored for changes in blood sugar control using fasting plasma glucose tests, as well as assessments of long-term glycemic control and insulin sensitivity. Researchers will also track participants adherence to their assigned soda consumption and lifestyle habits. The total study duration for each participant is 8 weeks, with measurements taken at the start and end of this period to evaluate the impact of the soda replacement.
