Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary study parameter will be short-chain fatty acids in feces and plasma (acetate, propionate, butyrate) in relation to glycemic control (HbA1c and daily insulin use) and plasma lipid profiles. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary study parameters will be intestinal integrity and inflammatory tone (measured by fecal calprotectin), intestinal bacterial translocation (by plasma LPS-binding peptide) and plasma inflammatory markers (leukocytes, C-reactive protein). Gut microbiome differences which will be evaluated by HIT-chip and oral microbiome, obtained by oral mucosal swab and finally diet/caloric intake evaluated by 1 week diet lists. | — |
