Brief Summary  

To our knowledge this study will be the first of its kind in India that will bring out evidence on the effect of low-calorie sweetener sucralose on body weight, waist circumference, fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, insulin resistance, lipid profile, inflammatory markers and gut microbiome both among adults with type 2 diabetes. The study findings could further provide clear public health message on the use of LCS -Sucralose.
