Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to explore the effects of yoghurt consumption on glucose metabolism in prediabetic subjects.

Detailed Description

Study population: the study population will consist of 60 (30 per group) subjects (men and women) at high risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), aged 18-65 years (inclusive), body mass index (BMI) 25.0 (inclusive) - 35.0 kg/m2 (exclusive), diagnosed with prediabetes, defined as fasting plasma glucose levels 100-125 mg/dL (5.6-6.9 mmol/L) (inclusive), randomised in a test and control group.

Intervention comprises of two study periods: a refrain period from dairy products and pro-, pre- and synbiotic supplements in any form, for 2 weeks, followed by an intervention period of 24 weeks.
