Why it matters

Prediabetes progression to type 2 diabetes remains a major clinical challenge, with lifestyle interventions often limited by adherence. SiPore21 offers a novel, non-pharmacological, gut-localized mechanism—entrapping digestive enzymes—that may address both glycemia and weight, providing a potential new tool for metabolic management.
