Fecal Microbiota Transplantation on Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

November 21, 2014 updated by: Faming Zhang, The Second Hospital of Nanjing Medical University

The Efficiency of Fecal Microbiota Transplantation on Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

The gut microbiota is considered to constitute a "microbial organ" which has pivotal roles in the body's metabolism. Evidence from animal and human studies strongly support the link between intestinal bacteria and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The present clinical trial aims to re-establish a gut functionality state of intestinal flora through fecal microbiota transplantation.

Unknown

Conditions

Intervention / Treatment

Detailed Description

We established a standard bacteria isolation from donated fresh stool in lab.Then the bacteria is transplanted to mid-gut (at least below the second part of duodenum ) through regular gastroscope. Participants in this study will be randomly assigned to receive fecal microbiota transplantation only once or traditional therapy, and accept follow-up for at least one year. Blood tests,OGTT and magnetic resonance spectroscopy will be used to assess participants at study start and at study completion.
