Nutritional interventions that target the gut microbiome may provide a safe adjunctive approach if they can improve glycaemic control without replacing standard diabetes care.\n\nThe gut microbiome may influence glucose regulation through several biological pathways, including short-chain fatty acid production, bile acid metabolism, intestinal barrier function, low-grade inflammation, incretin signalling, and other host-microbe interactions. These mechanisms provide the rationale for evaluating a microbiome-targeted nutritional intervention in adults with type 2 diabetes.\n\nThe investigational product is a fixed AI-guided microbiome-targeted nutritional formulation. The artificial intelligence methodology was used before the clinical trial to support formulation design, including ingredient and dose selection from candidate microbiome-active compounds. The output of this process is one fixed formulation that is locked before participant enrolment and is identical for all participants assigned to the active intervention arm. The artificial intelligence system is not used during the trial for participant-level prediction, diagnosis, clinical decision-making, dosing, personalization, or formulation adjustment. Therefore, the clinical study evaluates the fixed nutritional product, not the independent clinical performance of an artificial intelligence system.\n\nParticipants are randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either the active nutritional intervention or a matching placebo for 24 weeks. Both groups receive identical structured lifestyle counselling and continue stable background glucose-lowering therapy as clinically appropriate. The placebo is matched to the active product in appearance, taste, smell, packaging, administration schedule, and storage conditions, and is intended to be microbiome- and glycaemia-neutral.\n\nThe primary clinical assessment is the change in HbA1c from baseline to Week 24. Week 24 was selected because HbA1c reflects average glycaemia over the preceding 2 to 3 months and is therefore appropriate for evaluating a gradually acting nutritional and microbiome-targeted intervention. The study also evaluates supportive glycaemic, anthropometric, safety, patient-reported, and microbiome-related measures.\n\nThis 100-participant proof-of-concept trial is designed to detect a clinically meaningful HbA1c signal and to estimate safety, feasibility, variability, and effect-size parameters for a future larger confirmatory trial.
