Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Fasting insulin measured in EDTA plasma using ELISA, and HOMA-ir calculated using software from Matthews et al. (1985) (https://www.dtu.ox.ac.uk/homacalculator), at baseline and at end of intervention period, i.e. after 5 weeks (2 weeks run-in and 3 weeks intervention)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Mean glucose and glycaemic variability measured using continuous glucose monitoring (FreeStyle Libre) for 14 days during baseline and run-in and again 14 days during the intervention (first two weeks of three weeks intervention) 2. Fasting GLP-1/PYY level in aprotinin plasma with DPP4-inhibitor measured using ELISA at baseline and at end of the intervention period, i.e. after 5 weeks (2 weeks run-in and 3 weeks intervention) 3. Fasting breath hydrogen measured using Quintron Microanalyzer at baseline and at end of the intervention period, i.e. after 5 weeks (2 weeks run-in and 3 weeks intervention) 4. Body weight measured using a digital weighing scale to the nearest 0.1 kg, and waist circumference measured using a measuring tape to the nearest 0.5 cm, at baseline, at the end of the run-in (after 2 weeks) and at the end of the intervention (after 5 weeks from baseline) 5. Microbiota composition measured using DNA extraction and 16s RNA gene sequencing at baseline, at the end of the run-in (after 2 weeks) and at the end of the intervention (after 5 weeks from baseline) and after a wash-out period (7 weeks after baseline) 6. SCFA measured in faeces using HPLC at baseline, at the end of the run-in (after 2 weeks) and at the end of the intervention (after 5 weeks from baseline) and after a wash-out period (7 weeks after baseline)
