Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

In order to investigate how gut microbiota interventions are able to change gut microbiota population and impact insulin resistance, 30 type2 diabetes volunteers with obesity will be randomized to one of the three treatment groups: 1) probiotics arm, who will take a Lactobacillus fermentum D3 in pills daily; 2) FMT arm, who will take a lyophilized fecal microbiota transplant in pills; and 3) control group, who will take placebo pills. After 3 months, insulin resistance, glucose metabolism parameters, and gut microbiota variation will be assessed.
