T2Biotic™ (Concept Formulation)
Study Site:
Level 2 W80, Charles Perkins Centre D17, The University of Sydney, NSW, 2006 AustraliaFormulation:
The product contains 8 probiotic strains (3 Lactobacillus, 3 Bifidobacterium, Streptococcus thermophilus and 1 yeast (500 mg per capsule equating to 50 billion cfu). Two capsules of the probiotic/placebo will be prescribed to be taken twice a day. The probiotic has to be consumed orally with cold non-carbonated water.
About Trial:
This study assesses the effect of a multi-strain probiotic on metabolic biomarkers in adults with Pre-diabetes and recently diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of a probiotic preparation in improving glucose metabolism and metabolic markers in adults with pre-diabetes and recently diagnosed with T2DM. Moreover, gut permeability, faecal and metabolomic profiles will be measured to evaluate a potential mechanisms of action of the multi-strain probiotic.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a major public health problem worldwide. It is characterised by the increased concentration of glucose in the blood and leads to damage of the body system, especially blood vessels and nerves. Lifestyle modification is often combined with anti-diabetic therapy as the standard of care for T2DM to maintain the proper blood glucose and to prevent long-term diabetic complications.

Almost 1 million Australian adults (5.3% of those aged 18 and over) had type 2 diabetes in 2017–18, according to self-reported data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) 2017–18 National Health Survey.
In 2015–16, an estimated 2.3% ($2.7 billion) of total disease expenditure in the Australian health system was attributed to diabetes (AIHW 2019b).
