Prebiotic supplement for blood sugar control in type 2 diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study is testing whether a daily prebiotic supplement (a type of fiber that feeds good gut bacteria) can help improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes. It is for Saudi adults between 45 and 60 years old who have had diabetes for several years.

This trial tests how a high-fructose diet affects your gut bacteria and overall metabolic health. It is for people who already know they don't absorb fructose well (fructose malabsorbers) and want to understand how this sugar impacts their body.
This trial tests whether a personalized nutrition plan based on your gut bacteria (microbiome) can help improve blood sugar control in type 2 diabetes. Researchers will use artificial intelligence to match you with a diet tailored to your unique gut bacteria.
This trial tests a special drink that may help improve blood sugar levels and gut health in people with prediabetes. It could offer a simple way to manage blood sugar and potentially prevent diabetes.
This study tests if a special type of fat (butyrate) can help prevent diabetes in people who are overweight and have early signs of blood sugar problems. You would take a supplement for several weeks to see if it improves how your body handles sugar.
This trial tests how a special oral nutritional supplement affects the gut microbiome (the bacteria in your digestive system) in people with type 2 diabetes. You will swallow a small capsule that collects samples as it travels through your gut, helping researchers understand the changes.
This study tests whether a specific beneficial bacteria supplement (called Lactobacillus paracasei LC19) can help control blood sugar in people with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes. It may offer an option to manage diabetes without starting medication right away.
