This 12-day study looks at how three sweeteners stirred into your morning drink affect your blood sugar after a standard breakfast, and it is fully remote. Your glucose readings help build real-world evidence on how a sugar alternative made with acacia fiber compares with table sugar and stevia at an everyday breakfast, not just in a lab. The study is open to adults across the United States who do not have diabetes or prediabetes.

You wear an Abbott Lingo glucose sensor for about 10 days and complete six test mornings on Days 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, and 10: an overnight fast, one numbered sweetener packet in your usual drink, a plain bagel with cream cheese, and 3 quiet hours with plain water. Short app check-ins before your drink, 1 hour after, and 3 hours after ask about hunger, fullness, energy, and stomach comfort, while rest-day check-ins on Days 2, 5, and 8 make sure your sensor is working and you feel well. No clinic visits are required, and you finish with a 5-minute questionnaire on Day 11.
Answer a 10-minute screening questionnaire online. If you qualify, you create an Alethios account and sign electronic consent on the Alethios platform before any study activity begins.
In the Alethios app, you learn how a test morning works, answer background questions, and install the sensor app. Your kit usually arrives within about 10 days; you confirm receipt in the app, apply your sensor on Day 1, and buy your plain bagels and cream cheese before Day 3.
On Days 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, and 10, you fast overnight, stir that day's packet into your usual morning drink, eat a plain bagel with cream cheese, then stay seated with plain water for 3 hours. App check-ins before your drink, 1 hour after, and 3 hours after ask about hunger, fullness, energy, and stomach comfort, and Days 5 and 8 are rest days with a 2-minute check-in.
On the afternoon of Day 10 you sync and remove your sensor, then answer a 5-minute final questionnaire in the Alethios app on Day 11. You receive a $20 Amazon gift card once your sensor is active on Day 1, and a $60 credit to the study sponsor's online store if you complete at least five of six test mornings and the final questionnaire, each sent within 14 days.
Many people stir a sweetener into their morning coffee or tea, and swapping sugar for an alternative is a common choice. What is less well understood is whether the sweetener in that drink changes how much blood sugar rises after the meal that follows. This study tracks continuous glucose for 3 hours after the same bagel breakfast on six mornings, testing table sugar, LOAM Sugar Alternative, and stevia twice each in a blinded order.
