Yogurt with KGM and Inulin Improves Insulin Sensitivity in T2DM

Última actualización 16 de agosto de 2026

Key finding

Fasting insulin decreased by -1.85 μIU/mL (P = 0.042).

This study investigated the effects of low-fat yogurt enriched with konjac glucomannan and inulin on glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes, finding significant reductions in fasting insulin and cholesterol levels.

Plain-language summary

What this paper says

A plain-language read of the study’s main message and where it applies.

Study focus

This study investigated the effects of low-fat yogurt enriched with konjac glucomannan and inulin on glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes, finding significant reductions in fasting insulin and cholesterol levels.

Clinical relevance

These findings are significant as they suggest that dietary interventions, such as incorporating low-fat yogurt enriched with specific fibers, can play a role in managing glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes. This could lead to improved health outcomes and reduced risk of diabetes-related complications.

Keep in mind

The study had a limited sample size. Results may not be generalizable to all populations with type 2 diabetes. The long-term effects of the intervention were not assessed.
