Probiotics in type 2 diabetes therapy - are they effective? A meta-analysis.

Conclusions This meta-analysis of available RCTs suggests that probiotic supplementation might improve, at least to some extent, metabolic control in subjects with T2DM. However, regarding their future use in the supportive treatment of T2DM larger, well - designed long-term RCTs are needed to confirm any potentially beneficial relationship between the use of probiotics and modifiable cardiometabolic risk factors.
