First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether drinking regular milk can lower the risk of type 2 diabetes in people with lactose intolerance who also have pre-diabetes. Researchers will compare regular milk to lactose-free milk over 12 weeks in 40 adults. They will measure changes in gut bacteria, blood sugar levels, and digestive symptoms.
