At each study visit the the following will be recorded: Age, Sex, Pulse, height, weight, CGM real time measurement and the following non-medical information will be recorded: Address, Phone number and Email address ( will be recorded at the first visit and will be asked if anything has changed at the reoccurring visits). The following will happen at each visit:
Visit 1 (Week 0): The subject will be presented with informed consent.

Visit 4 (Week 12): The following activities will take place during these visits: AE review, concomitant medications review, weight, vital signs, CGM download, pill count, collect previous diary. Also, at this visit, a finger stick for A1C (if not completed as SoC), no further distribution of supplements.
