Microbiota Transplantation in Individuals with Type 2 Diabetes and a High Degree of Insulin Resistance

Microbiota Transplantation in Type 2 Diabetes Patients

Study Overview

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) from healthy lean donors in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). It was a phase II clinical trial involving 21 participants (12 men and 9 women) with a mean age of 62.5 years and an average body mass index (BMI) of 32.4 kg/m².

Methods

Participants were divided into three groups: one receiving FMT, another receiving a probiotic (Lactobacillus delbrueckii), and a placebo group. Various health measures were taken at the start, and again at 4 and 12 weeks after treatment.

Results

The study found that:

  • FMT did not lead to significant changes in weight, BMI, or blood sugar control (HbA1c levels).
  • A slight decrease in uric acid levels was observed in the probiotic group.
  • There was a minor increase in HbA1c levels in the FMT group.

Conclusion

In this study, neither FMT from healthy donors nor the probiotic improved insulin sensitivity or blood sugar levels in patients with T2D.
