Dairy-Enriched High-Protein Breakfast Enhances Circadian Gene Expression and Glycemic Control in Type 2 Diabetes

A randomized crossover trial demonstrates that a dairy-enriched diet with high-protein breakfast and early daytime carbohydrate restriction significantly upregulates circadian clock genes (BMAL1, REV-ERBα, CRY1), improves glycemic metrics including fasting glucose and time in range, and reduces appetite in individuals with type 2 diabetes.
