Characteristics of the Gut Microbiota and Potential Effects of Probiotic Supplements in Individuals with Type 2 Diabetes <i>mellitus</i>

The increasing prevalence of type 2 diabetes <i>mellitus</i> (T2DM) worldwide has become a burden to healthcare systems. In 2019, around 463 million adults were living with diabetes <i>mellitus</i>, and T2DM accounted for 90 to 95% of cases. The relationship between the gut m...
