Objectives

Narrative objectives1

This study aims to investigate the safety and the effects on glycemic variability of long-term (12-week) ingestion of yogurt in patients with type 2 diabetes receiving standard treatment (metformin). Utilizing the FreeStyle Libre 2 system and a dietary management app, we will exploratorily evaluate effects such as the suppression of postprandial glucose spikes, while confirming safety aspects including the risk of hypoglycemia and the impact on hepatic and renal functions under concomitant use of metformin.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

Safety assessment: Clinically significant changes in blood biochemical tests, including liver function (AST, ALT, gamma-GTP), renal function (Cr, eGFR), and glucose metabolism (HbA1c, GA, HOMA-IR).

Key secondary outcomes

1.Changes in glycemic variability parameters measured by FreeStyle Libre 2 (TIR, TAR, TBR, Mean Glucose, MAGE, CV, GMI, IAUC, Cmax, dCmax, Tmax, dTmax, AC_Mean, and AC_Var) from the non-ingestion period (baseline) to the 12-week ingestion period.
2.Changes in inflammatory markers (hs-CRP, IL-6, IL-10) as exploratory outco
