Details and patient eligibility

About

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. The objective of this trial is to determine whether Lactobacillus paracasei LC19 supplementation has a positive effect on glucose lowering in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D).

Full description

In this trial, approximately 60 drug-naive patients with newly diagnosed Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) will be recruited. Laboratory evaluations will be conducted on the subjects to confirm their eligibility before randomization. After the screening, eligible subjects will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either the Lactobacillus paracasei LC19 supplementation group or the placebo group during the randomization visit. They will then enter a 12-week double-blind treatment period.
