Efficacy
Statistical methods / analysis
This is a pilot exploratory study. Summary statistics (mean, SD, SEM, 95% CI) will be reported for all continuous variables. Median (plus interquartile range) will be reported for non-normally distributed data, and categorical variables, such as low or high diversity among gut microbial species, will be presented as numbers and percentages. Comparisons of baseline and end of study measures, such as HbA1c, will be made to determine if there are any statistical and clinical differences.
