Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The intervention is a Dahlia spp. extract, the subject of previous study described in application ACTRN12617001605381. THis is an oral capsule. This study is a placebo controlled dose-ramping study randomised for dose frequency and time of administration. Participants will be randomised into four equal groups stratified by metformin use and by HbA1c. Each group will then complete a dose-ramping protocol over four weeks as outlined in the protocol. Two groups will receive the extract three times per day and two groups twice per day. For both conditions, one group with take it immediately prior to a meal and the other one hour prior to meals. In week one all participants will receive placebo. In week two the extract dose will be 30mg (BD or TDS as above). week three, 60mg and week four 120mg. Adherence will be monitored with capsule return and count using blister packing for each week. Participants will have a subcutaneous continuous glucose monitor for all four weeks of the study.

Placebo

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 322324 0
Glucose data from the Libre will be analysed to determine area under the curve for glucose over 24 hours, and divided into 3-5 hour postprandial periods for each meal. Data will be extracted and averaged for days 4-7 of each treatment dose to allow for steady state to be reached.
Timepoint [1] 322324 0
Each timepoint (week 2, 3 and 4) will be analysed relative to the baseline week (week 1). Baseline AUC glucose will be taken as the average of days 4-7 of the first week while participants receiving placebo.
Secondary outcome [1] 378085 0
A secondary analysis will also be conducted to compare BD vs TDS dosing for AUC over 24 hours. An analysis will also be conducted to compare timing of doses before meals, for AUC over the 5-hour post prandial period following meals where a dose has been given.
Timepoint [1] 378085 0
Secondary analyses will compare conditions between groups at the same timepoint for each dose. Ie the average of days 4-7 AUC glucose during each dosage regimen.

Study design
Purpose of the study
Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Participants will be computer randomised into 4 treatment groups with allocation made on sequential basis by staff member not directly involved in the study.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
The statistician who is not involved directly with the study will provide a randomisation list, stratified by metformin use. Simple randomisation using a randomisation table created by computer software (i.e. computerised sequence generation)
Masking / blinding
