After being informed about the study and the potential risks, all patients who gave their written informed consent underwent a screening period of 1 week to determine their eligibility to participate in the study. At week 0, patients who met the eligibility requirements were randomized in a double-blind manner (participant and investigator) to the American Diabetes Association (ADA) diet + yogurt with premium probiotics (300 g/d) or ADA diet + conventional yogurt (300 g/d) or ADA diet without fermented dairy.
The purpose of the study is to analyze the effects of the consumption of yogurt with concentrated and lyophilized probiotic cultures on the parameters associated with glucose homeostasis, inflammation and oxidative stress in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM).
