Probiotic supplementation improves blood sugar control, intestinal health in diabetes patients
Brazil: Probiotics use may be an appropriate adjuvant therapy for blood sugar control in type 2 diabetes patients, concludes a recent study in Clinical Nutrition ESPEN. The study results showed that probiotic supplementation significantly reduced fasting glycemia and facilitated improved lipid profiles and intestinal health.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic condition associated with several comorbidities; it is considered complex and therefore to reduce the associated risks, multifactorial strategies must be applied.
An increasing number of studies suggest that the use of probiotics may have a beneficial effect in patients with type 2 diabetes. A study by Solymár et al showed that probiotic supplementation is beneficial in type 2 diabetes mellitus and could be a supplementary therapeutic approach in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients to improve dyslipidemia and to promote better metabolic control.
The aim of the before-and-after clinical trial by Maíra Corneli Ziegler and the researcher's team from Brazil was to investigate the effects of adjuvant supplementation with probiotics in patients with T2DM.
