Endpoints
Primary endpoints

Criteria for diabetes remission assessment will be used as described in 2012 in the American Diabetes Association guidelines (8,9): - Complete remission: HbA1c<5.7% and no anti-diabetic medication (except metformin in the experimental group). - Partial remission: HbA1c<6.5% and no anti-diabetic medication (except metformin in the experimental group).","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Assessment per 2012 American Diabetes Association guidelines: Complete remission defined as HbA1c <5.7% with no anti-diabetic medication (except metformin allowed in experimental group); Partial remission defined as HbA1c <6.5% with no anti-diabetic medication (except metformin allowed in experimental group). Measured at 3 years."}
Secondary endpoints
- {"endpoint_text":"- Proportion of patients with T2D partial or complete remission criteria at 1 and 2 years\n- Proportion of patients with strict complete remission at 3 years\n- Percentage of weight and BMI change at 1,2 and 3 years compared to baseline\n- Level of cardio-metabolic parameters associated to T2D (fasting glycaemia and insulinemia, HOMA-IR, triglycerides and HDL cholesterol, blood pressure) at 1,2 and 3 years compared to baseline\n- Level of nutritional parameters associated with BS (albumin, hemoglobin, iron, serum ferritin, transferrin saturation, calcium, vitamins D and B1, B9, B12) at 1,2 and 3 years compared to baseline\n- Proportion of adverse drug reactions in the intervention group compared to standard care all along the trial (all visits)\n- Adherence level in the intervention group as measured using pill counts (defined as taking at least 80% of assigned study pills in the intervention group) (all visits) and metformin plasmatic dosage at 1,2 and 3 years in sites that can perform it\n- Number and level of retinopathy, nephropathy and macroangiopathy events at 3 years\n- Quality of life changes assessed by EQ5D auto-questionnaire from baseline to 1, 2 and 3 years\n- 5y-Ad-Diarem score calculated with baseline data (inclusion) to assess clinical outcome at the end of the study\n- Changes in fecal microbiota (diversity, composition and function) from baseline at 1 and 3 years","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Secondary endpoints measured at specified timepoints (1, 2 and/or 3 years) as described: remission assessed by ADA criteria at 1 and 2 years; strict complete remission at 3 years; weight/BMI percent change vs baseline at 1/2/3 years; cardio-metabolic labs (fasting glucose, insulin, HOMA-IR, triglycerides, HDL, BP) at 1/2/3 years; nutritional lab panel at 1/2/3 years; adverse drug reactions recorded at all visits; adherence by pill counts (>=80% threshold) and plasma metformin when available at 1/2/3 years; retinopathy/nephropathy/macroangiopathy events summarized at 3 years; QoL by EQ-5D questionnaire at baseline and 1/2/3 years; 5y-Ad-DiaRem score calculated from baseline data; fecal microbiota diversity/composition/function changes at 1 and 3 years."}
