Abstract
Abstract:
Diabetes mellitus has been a common metabolic disorder in recent years across the
world. It has affected approximately 463 million people worldwide, which has tripled in the last
two decades. It has been forecasted to show an upward trend through 2030 and 2045 in China, India, and the United States. Few studies have been done to assess the impact of gut microbiota on
human health. Diabetes mellitus is found to have an association with gut microbiota. Few animal
studies are available linking the alteration of gut microbiota in diabetes mellitus. Probiotics have
been found to have anti-diabetic properties. If diabetes is treated with diet modification in addition
to drugs, it could change the spectrum of intestinal bacteria by boosting commensal bacteria and
decreasing the harmful bacteria in the microbiome population of the gastrointestinal tract, which is
highly beneficial. This could aid diabetics in managing diabetes mellitus and its complications effectively. This review has been undertaken to address the management of diabetes mellitus with a
focus on the gut microbiome in addition to antidiabetic medications.
