Highlight

  • Combined therapy of metformin and moderate FODMAP diet significantly reduces postprandial glucose excursions and enhances GLP-1 secretion in prediabetic patients.
  • Moderate FODMAP intake increases abundance of beneficial butyrate-producing bacteria and reduces systemic inflammation markers.
  • No significant increase in gastrointestinal side effects observed compared to low FODMAP intake during metformin therapy.
  • Baseline abundance of Dorea formicigenerans may predict metformin intolerance, highlighting gut microbiota’s role in drug response.
