Validation of the Snouda Metabolic Score for Phenotyping and Guiding Reversal in Type 2 Diabetes
Starting soon · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), Insulin Resistance, Metabolic Syndrome
In brief
This study tests a new tool called the Snouda Metabolic Score (SMS) that helps doctors identify the specific metabolic problems driving Type 2 Diabetes in each individual patient. Instead of treating all diabetic patients the same way, the SMS classifies patients into one of several metabolic phenotypes - patterns of dysfunction across five body systems: insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, hormonal disruption, gut microbiome imbalance, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Once classified, each participant follows a personalized 24-week lifestyle and nutritional protocol targeting their specific phenotype. The protocol includes dietary changes, structured exercise, targeted nutritional supplements, and optional intermittent fasting. Participants track their blood glucose daily and complete biomarker blood tests at the start and end of the study. The main goal is to determine whether the SMS tool accurately identifies metabolic phenotypes and whether phenotype-matched protocols produce better outcomes than standard approaches. The study measures changes in HbA1c, fasting insulin, C-peptide, inflammation markers, and whether participants achieve Type 2 Diabetes remission - defined as HbA1c below 6.5% without glucose-lowering medication. The study is conducted entirely online through the diabetesreversal.io platform. There are no clinic visits required. Participants must be adults aged 18 or older with a confirmed Type 2 Diabetes diagnosis and must not be pregnant or breastfeeding.
