Summary
This study looks at whether people with type 2 diabetes who eat more dairy products (like milk, cheese, and yogurt) during an intensive lifestyle program have better blood sugar control and weight maintenance. Researchers will track changes in A1C, weight, and cholesterol in about 50 adults. The goal is to see if a higher percentage of calories from dairy is linked to better outcomes.
