5. Study Description
Brief Summary
In this randomized, controlled, assessor blinded and prospective intervention study the investigators will evaluate the clinical feasibility and effectiveness of intermittent use of a fasting mimicking diet in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus compared to usual care.
Detailed Description
100 individuals (men or women, ethnicity not specified) with type 2 diabetes and a BMI≥ 27, who are treated with diet only and have a HbA1c > 48, or who are treated with diet and a dose of metformin can participate in the study. Participants will use a fasting-mimicking diet for 5 consecutive days per month. For the other days, there are no regulations. During follow-up of one year, several study parameters will be measured including HbA1c and antidiabetic medication dosage.
