Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary endpoints are (postprandial) glucose excursions determined by a wearable continuous glucose monitor (CGM) during the 14 days of intervention | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The secondary endpoint is the effect of oral E. hallii treatment on 4-h mixed meal test (changes in plasma metabolites , glucose and lipids) in relation to changes in fecal microbiota composition and plasma/feces SCFA collected at baseline, week 2 and week 4. Also changes in dietary intake will be monitored | — |
