“The culture club” an up-to-date appraisal of the role probiotics play in the management of type 2 diabetes

In diabetes, we have a growing interest in the modulation of gut microbiota through supplementation with probiotics, prebiotics or synbiotics. This is motivated by the possibility of gut microbiota helping individuals with diabetes mellitus achieve better metabolic health.

However, many of us might still be unclear about the role probiotics play in the management of type 2 diabetes. To help us cut through the clutter of this emerging field, this enlightening webinar discusses when to consider adding probiotics into the management of a person with diabetes, which populations with diabetes might not be considered suitable for probiotic use, the attributes we should seek from a probiotic, and how to assess the benefits of probiotics added to a management plan.
