37The aim of the study is to compare the effects of prebiotics versus placebo on blood concentrations of glucagon-like peptide-1 in subjects with diabetes type 2.
We looked at 6 weeks supplementation with a prebiotic fibre mix of inulin and FOS. Cross over design compared to maltodextrin as placebo. Additional outcome measures: blood glucose, insulin, GLP-2, ghrelin, PYY and leptin after a standardized mixed meal test. Also measured changes in microbiota composition and SCFA in feces before and after intervention/placebo periods, and subjective measures of appetite.
