Role of dietary interventions on microvascular health in South-Asian Surinamese people with type 2 diabetes in the Netherlands:A randomized controlled trial

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: We investigated whether dietary interventions, i.e. a fasting mimicking diet (FMD, Prolon®) or glycocalyx mimetic supplementation (Endocalyx ) could stabilize microvascular function in Surinamese South-Asian patients with type 2 diabetes (SA-T2DM) in the Netherlands, a patient population more prone to develop vascular complications.
