Summary
This study tests whether a natural fiber called oligofructose (found in onions, garlic, and bananas) can help improve blood sugar, cholesterol, and inflammation in Saudi adults with type 2 diabetes. 100 adults (50 with diabetes and 50 without) will take either the prebiotic or a placebo twice daily for 12 weeks. The goal is to see if adding this fiber to the diet supports better diabetes control and a healthier gut.
