Y-META: A study for people who are overweight or have pre-diabetes

Research has suggested that poor gut health may be involved in problems associated with high blood sugar which, left untreated can lead to the development of Type 2 Diabetes (T2D).

The University of Roehampton is investigating if a natural supplement can help maintain good gut health. The study team are looking for pre-diabetic or overweight adults to take part.

The study involves 4 short visits over a period of 16 weeks at the University of Roehampton.

You will be given a £50 amazon voucher for your time.

If you want to take part in the study you will be asked to do the following:

Fill out an initial screening questionnaire. This can be done remotely
If you are eligible and consent to take part, you will have an in-person screening visit at the University of Roehampton. During this visit, your blood pressure, height, weight and body fat will be measured. A blood sample will also be taken.
You will be assigned to one of the study arms. You will either be given a natural supplement (Y-meta) or a placebo to take daily for 12 weeks.

There will be 3 short study visits (30mins). They will take place in week 0, week 12 and week 16. All of these visits will be in person at the University of Roehampton.
