Abstract:

Objective To evaluate the effect of probiotics on glucose metabolism in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and to elaborate its mechanism of action, so as to provide ideas and approaches for clinical diagnosis and treatment of T2DM. Methods Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) reporting the effect of probiotics on glucose metabolism in T2DM patients published before 31st November 2022 were searched in the online databases of PubMed, Embase, Web of science, CNKI, Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform and CQVIP database were searched. Two investigators were independently responsible for literature screening. The included literatures were assessed and data were extracted and analyzed using RevMan 5.4 software. Results A total of 11 studies were included in the study, involving 709 T2DM patients. There were 371 T2DM patients in the experimental group and 338 in the control group. Meta-analysis showed that probiotic supplementation significantly reduced fasting plasma glucose (FPG), hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C), homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and fasting insulin levels in the experimental group than those in the control group. Conclusion Probiotic supplementation can improve glucose metabolism in T2DM patients, and probiotics can be used as one of the adjuvant treatments for T2DM patients.
