- Brief Summary
The incidence of obesity has dramatically increased during the last three decades, leading to a significant increase of obesity-related morbidity, including type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) that is characterized by resistance of target tissues to insulin action. T2DM obese patients may be treated by medications or by bariatric surgery. Both alternatives have limitations due to incomplete resolution of the diseases, high cost or potential procedural related morbidity. An increasing body of evidence points to a role of the enteric microbiota in the pathogenesis of obesity-related insulin resistance. In addition to that, the gut microbiota is directly affected by the diet composition. Studies in T2DM mice carrying human gut germs, demonstrated special interactions between the gut microbiota and the host, creating a typical microbiota composition which changes significantly following diet change from a western diet, rich with sugar, to a vegetarian diet rich with fibers. This rapid alternations in the microbiota composition has also shown in humans, after changing from western to high fiber diet. A change in diet life style may lead to an improvement in T2DM symptoms such as decrease in visceral adipose tissue.
- Detailed Description
Study design:
30 Patients will undergo 2 FMT's from a lean donor and will be randomized into 3 types of diet groups:
1. low fat high fiber diet (20% fat)
2. no change in fat intake (sham diet)
3. high fat low fiber diet (40-45% fat)
The treating physicians and the patients will be blinded for the diet arm. Before and after FMT, patients will be assessed after an overnight fast (and before taking medications) for weight, anthropometric measures, questionnaires (dietary, general health, antibiotic and probiotic exposure, oral diabetes medication quantity, and other drug exposure), blood and stool.
The investigators hypothesize that fecal microbial transplantation from a lean donor to T2DM obese patients, with the combination of low fat high fiber diet, will alter the gut microbiota composition to decrease insulin resistance through microbiota dependent metabolic and immunologic effects.

Group Intervention Description FMT from a lean donor+ sham diet gastroscopy Patients will undergo FMT (Fecal Microboita Transplantation) from a lean donor twice during study through a gastroscopy: 1. at time 0 2. after 6 weeks Patient will start sham diet (no change in fat/fiber consumption) 2 weeks before first FMT and continue on consuming the same diet 9 weeks after the first FMT.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method 30% decrease in insulin resistance 6 weeks after first FMT Lean donor FMT will result in 30% decrease in insulin resistance that will be further enhanced after a second FMT. These will be meditated by an alteration of intestinal microbiota
40% decrease in insulin resistance compared to baseline 12 weeks after second FMT
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Improvement in anthropometric measures and in metabolic indices week 6 and 12 post FMT At least 5% decrease in waist to hip ratio and in total body weight
Maintenance of altered of enteric microbiota in the three diet groups 6, 12, 28 weeks post FMT Maintenance of an improved insulin resistance 28 weeks post FMT Insulin resistance at 28 weeks will be in the range (+5% to -5%) of the value achieved at week 12.
Decreased use of diabetes medications Week 6 and 12 post FMT
