About this trial

This is an interventional basic science trial for Type 2 Diabetes

Eligibility Criteria

30 Years - 70 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesAccepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

Overweight/obese insulin resistant/prediabetic participants (age 30-70 y, BMI ≥ 28 kg/m2 < 40 kg/m2)

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Type 2 diabetes mellitus (defined as fasting plasma glucose ≥ 7.0 mmol/L and 2h glucose ≥ 11.1 mmol/L)
  • Gastroenterological diseases or abdominal surgery;
  • Cardiovascular diseases, cancer, liver or kidney malfunction, disease with a life expectancy shorter than 5 years;
  • Abuse of products; alcohol and drugs, excessive nicotine use defined as >20 cigarettes per day;
  • Plans to lose weight or following of a hypocaloric diet;
  • Regular supplementation of pre- or probiotic products, use of pre- or probiotics 3 months prior to the start of the study;
  • Intensive exercise training more than three hours a week;
  • Use of any medication that influences glucose or fat metabolism and inflammation (i.e. NSAIDs);
  • Regular use of laxation products;
  • Use of antibiotics in the last three months (antibiotics use can alter substantially the gut microbiota composition).
  • Follow a vegetarian diet.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
In this project the investigators intend to study the therapeutic potential of a personalized fibre mixture in individuals at high risk of developing T2DM, and aim to address the following key objectives: To investigate whether a mixture of fermentable fibres, which differ in DP and side chains, will stimulate a broad range of SCFA-producing bacterial genera, resulting in enhanced chronic SCFA production throughout the whole colon with a large variation between individuals; To unravel whether providing personalized fibre mixtures, selected based on the individuals' initial microbiota and capacity for SCFA production is crucial to successfully improve host insulin sensitivity and metabolic health
