(Medical-NewsWire.com, December 30, 2014 ) Beaverton, Oregon -- Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is on the rise across the globe, with 80% of new cases coming from undeveloped countries. Diabetes mellitus is a group of diseases affecting how the body utilizes blood sugar or glucose.
Glucose is a form of blood sugar that is an important source of energy for the muscle and tissue cells of the body and the main source of energy for the brain. Diabetes means that there is too much glucose in the blood and the body is no longer able to regulate it properly.
For the body to properly use the glucose for energy it needs insulin, which is the hormone that facilitates the cells receiving the glucose. When a person has diabetes the body is either unable to use the insulin provided or there is not enough insulin to do the job. The person then goes into a state of insulin resistance.
T2DM is a disease can be prevented, even cured, by instituting certain lifestyle changes, such as becoming much more active, adding significant changes to the diet to include more fresh fruits and vegetables and sometimes medications for a time.
Preliminary studies now show great promise in the use of probiotics as having a positive effect on processes within the body that can have an impact on insulin/glucose regulation.
A probiotic supplement has been shown to have fewer unwanted side effects than other pharmacological treatments that have been approved for treatment of T2DM.
Probiotics can also decrease inflammation responses in the body and restore the mucosal lining of the gut, reducing permeability. This protects agains leaky gut syndrome and helps in the extraction of nutrients from foods which can help inhibit fat gain.
Studies also indicate probiotics may have an effect on how energy is extracted from food and used by the cells, resulting in a more stable glucose/insulin interaction.
Victoria Playfair, of Savi Wellness Probiotics says "We are incredibly excited by this study and others that show the range of diseases that may be influenced to a positive effect by the use of probiotics. This study is important news, considering the growth outlook for diabetes, not only in adults, but now showing up in young teens, as well.
It is imperative that we encourage children and young people to begin taking steps that can guard against these types of diseases in the future. Helping children become more active and living a healthier lifestyle when they are young can help prevent the onset of diseases such as diabetes when they are older.
Although more research and proper studies must be done to confirm these early findings, we are hopeful that the use of probiotics in this instance, can result in seeing the numbers of new T2DM cases reduced over time. We would also like to remind folks to consult with their health care professional if you suspect you may be at risk for developing diabetes."
