Enteric neurons have recently emerged as a new target in the management of type 2 diabetes. The findings in mice and humans identify new intestinal bioactive compounds released after prebiotic administration, with potential for improving glucose metabolism.
Increasing evidence suggests that imbalanced gut microbiota may play a role in insulin resistance in Type 2 Diabetes patients and exercise has shown to have positive effects on the gut microbiome and metabolism.

Ruling out the specific contribution of obesity and type 2 diabetes in gut microbiome variation is a challenge. Louise Thingholm and colleagues have found that while obesity is linked to gut microbiome variation, gut microbiome associations with type 2 diabetes are modest.

A new randomized clinical trial has found that promotion of a select group of gut bacteria by a diet high in diverse fibers may lead to better blood glucose and lipid control and greater weight loss in people with T2DM.

A new multicentre, randomised controlled clinical trial, led by Prof. Weiqing Wang from the Shanghai National Research Centre for Endocrine and Metabolic Diseases at the Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine in Shanghai (China), has found that gut microbiota may help predict which patients with T2D respond to treatment with Acarbose.

A new randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study has found both clinical and mechanistic evidence that metformin’s improved blood glucose control is achieved through modulation of the gut microbiota.
The prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is increasingly rapidly around the globe and has challenged researchers to investigate the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms.
