Effects of Yoghurt Consumption on Glucose Metabolism in Prediabetic Subjects

An interventional study of Yoghurt and Milk in Prediabetes, sponsored by Danone Global Research & Innovation Center. Terminated at 1 site in France. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 65 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-01-12.

Sponsored by Danone Global Research & Innovation Center · Not applicable, Interventional, and Basic science

Why this study was terminated
The current operational setting is not sustainable and very unlikely to deliver the planned enrollment of 60 participants. Even with significant protocol amendments, these challenges would remain.

Study summary

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

Read the 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.
