Abstract
The current paper presents the results of a study examining the impact of the yogurt «DiaVita» enriched with betulin and probiotics, on metabolic parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The interventional study demonstrated that a two-week consumption of this product contributed to reductions in fasting blood glucose and fructosamine levels, normalization of lipid metabolism (decreased total cholesterol and increased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol), and a decrease in the concentration of the pro-inflammatory marker TNF-α. These results highlight the potential therapeutic benefits of yogurt with betulin as part of the comprehensive treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Nevertheless, further research is required to confirm its long-term efficacy.
