Summary

This study tested whether taking a synbiotic supplement (a mix of probiotics and prebiotics) for 6 months can improve blood sugar control, reduce inflammation, and change body composition in adults with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes. Researchers measured markers like HbA1c, inflammatory proteins, and body fat. The goal was to see if this dietary approach could help manage diabetes alongside standard care.
