 * Abstract:**

The independent variable will be the people that ate the Welch's Strawberry Fruit Snacks, and the dependent variable is the blood sugar after the test. We are doing the study with the Welch's Strawberry Fruit Snacks to see the effects of the sugar from the Welch's Strawberry Fruit Snacks on the blood sugar of the two people eating the fruit snacks. Two packs of Welch's Strawberry Fruit Snacks will be used for this procedure. As a control, everybody will do a base-line blood sugar test, and then two people will eat Welch's Strawberry Fruit Snacks and two will eat nothing. The blood sugar test will be taken with a SurgiLance Safety Lancet and the system used will be the FreeStyle Lite Blood Glucose Testing System. 45 minutes later, a second blood sugar test will be taken.
