Abstract

This review explores the application and research progress of probiotics in the treatment of diabetes. With the rising incidence of diabetes, traditional treatments face numerous challenges, including side effects of medications and poor patient compliance. As a novel therapeutic approach, probiotics have shown potential in improving glycemic control, enhancing insulin sensitivity, and lowering inflammation levels. Research indicates that probiotics can regulate the gut microbiome, improve intestinal barrier function, promote nutrient absorption, and thus affect overall metabolic status. Furthermore, the antioxidant properties of probiotics have shown positive effects in protecting pancreatic cells and alleviating diabetes complications. Recent clinical trials have further supported the application of probiotics in diabetes management, especially in improving renal function, neuropathy, and cardiovascular health. Despite the optimistic results of existing studies, more high-quality randomized controlled trials are needed to establish the specific effects and optimal use strategies of different probiotics. This review provides a theoretical basis for future research and emphasizes the importance and potential of probiotics in the treatment of diabetes.
