QUESTION: What is the glucose content of 10 beers for type 2 diabetics?

Ch.

ANSWER: There are no comparative studies in connection with the sugar content of different beer types. Furthermore the sugar content is not always constant, because it is dependent on a number of factors, such as the properties of the particular yeast used in the brewing process. With regard to your question, however, it is interesting to note that a beer has recently been placed on the market that, according to the brewer, combines a normal alcohol content (5.5 percent by volume) with a well-nigh total absence of glucose. The beer (Bon Secour-Bien-être) is top-fermented with secondary fermentation in the bottle. It is on sale in a number of hypermarkets.
