Brief Summary
Obesity and type 2 diabetes are a pandemic disease leading to a high morbidity and mortality. Probiotic modulation of gut flora is a possible therapeutic mechanism. The aim of this study is to investigate and compare thoroughly the effect of a multispecies probiotic on glycaemic control, gut microbiota and gut permeability in patients with metabolic syndrome and diabetes.
