Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The difference (intervention group - control group) in dietary fiber change (from the time of run in to the end of the intervention period) will be evaluated. The change in dietary fiber from the time of run in and at the end of the intervention period will be calculated as [(average dietary fiber over week 11 and 12)-(average baseline dietary fiber during the run-in)].

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
For the following items, the difference in change will be calculated from the time consent was obtained to the end of the intervention period (12 weeks), and to the end of the observation period (24 weeks). 1.HbA1c (%) 2.Weight (kg) 3.BMI (kg/m2) 4.Systolic and diastolic blood pressure (mmHg) 5.eGFR (ml/min/1.73m2) 6.Fasting blood glucose (mg/dL) 7.LDL-C (mg/dL) 8.HDL-C (mg/dL) 9.Triglyceride (mg/dL)
