NCT03552991

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of a commercial dietary fiber supplement on patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, in the way of glucose control, insulin action in the body, and the gut microbiota (bacteria) abundance.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Fasting glucose

    By comparing the level of 4th week, compared to baseline

    the 4th week of study

  • Glycoalbumin

    By comparing the level of 4th week, compared to baseline

    the 4th week of study

  • Insulinogenic index

    By comparing the level of 4th week, compared to baseline

    the 4th week of study

  • Quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI)

    By comparing the level of 4th week, compared to baseline. QUICKI is derived from fasting blood glucose and insulin level, reflecting insulin sensitivity.

    the 4th week of study

  • Incretins (GIP)

    the 4th week of study

  • Incretins (GLP-1)

    the 4th week of study

  • Incretins (GLP-2)

Study Arms (1)

Agio arm

OTHER

It is a pilot study based on the proof-of-concept that dietary fiber helps glucose control in patients with type 2 diabetes. As a single-arm study, 'Agiocur Pregranules' (dietary fiber) is administered for 28 days and stopped for next 28 days, in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Drug: Agiocur Pregranules

Interventions

6g before breakfast and 12g after dinner for first 28 days, and no medication for next 28 days for washout

Also known as: Agio gran.
