Overview
Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that happen to be great for diabetes and prediabetes management!
They can help improve blood sugar control, aid digestion, boost immunity, and enhance heart health.
Multi-strain probiotics have been shown to have a more significant effect in reducing fasting blood glucose and A1c. Most people consume minimal fermented foods in their regular diet, so the addition of a probiotic supplement is frequently a great way to encourage beneficial bacteria growth and rebalance the gut microbiome.
Recommended Dosage
Probiotics come in many different strains. While there isn’t one strain that’s ‘optimal,’ you’re going to get the best result with a product that contains several different strains – a multi-strain probiotic. Look for a product with billions of bacteria present in a single serving, for example it might say “1 x 109 (one billion) live bacteria.” This ensures you are encouraging different types/strains of friendly bacteria to take up residency in your gut.
- Ensure the product is in an opaque package and stored in a refrigerated or freeze-dried form.
- Follow the specific dosing instructions on the product label.
Potential Side Effects
Probiotics are generally safe and well-tolerated. However, some individuals may experience mild side effects, such as:
- Bloating
- Gas
- Digestive discomfort
These side effects are typically temporary.
