Key information

About this study

Two groups of people, one composed of healthy volunteers and the other of patients with incident type 2 diabetes mellitus who never received treatment for their condition, fill in the food frequency questionnaire and the physical activity questionnaire. DNA microarray genotyping is used to process the DNA samples of the participants. The data on the composition of the participants' gut microbiota is obtained through sequencing of their stool samples.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Treatment and study plan

16S rRNA gene sequencing

Diagnostic Test

Taking a stool sample for gut microbiome DNA sequencing

DNA-microarray genotyping

Genetic

Taking a saliva sample for genotyping

Primary outcomes

  1. HbA1C

    Time frame: Baseline

    Glycated hemoglobin level

  2. Glucose

    Time frame: Baseline

    Fasting blood glucose level

  3. Gut microbiome composition of participants

    Time frame: Baseline

    Bacteria abundance obtained via sequencing the DNA extracted from the stool sample

  4. Genotypes of participants

    Time frame: Baseline

    Genotypes of thousands of SNPs obtained via DNA-microarray genotyping of the DNA extracted from the saliva sample

Secondary outcomes

  1. Physical activity questionnaire

    Time frame: Baseline

    Physical Activity Questionnaire. It collects information on physical activity comprising 16 questions grouped in four domains: activity at work (1), travel to and from places (2), recreational activities (3), sedentary behaviour (4).

  2. Food frequency questionnaire

    Time frame: 12 months before baseline

    Food frequency questionnaire assesses usual intake and portion size of more than 130 foods and beverages and more than 25 dietary supplements for the last 12 months. Responses are evaluated and analysed to compile a nutritional picture for each group of subjects.
