The effect of probiotic and synbiotic use on glycemic control in women with gestational diabetes: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Diabetes Res Clin Pract 2022; 194:110162. [PMID: 36403680 DOI: 10.1016/j.diabres.2022.110162] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2022] [Revised: 10/26/2022] [Accepted: 11/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
AIMS To investigate the impact of probiotic/synbiotic use on glycemic control in women with gestational diabetes. METHODS We searched the PubMed, Medline, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Dergipark, and Council of Higher Education Thesis Center databases through March 2022. Screening was performed according to the population, intervention, comparison, outcome and study type. This systematic review and meta-analysis were performed in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and meta-analyses (PRISMA-2020) statement. RESULTS Eight RCTs involving 551 patients were included in the meta-analysis. Probiotic use in women with gestational diabetes significantly decreased fasting blood glucose (mean difference: -1.43; 95 % CI: -2.78 to -0.09, p: 0.04) and serum insulin (mean difference: -3.66; 95 % CI: -5.04 to -2.27, p < 0.001). Moreover, the use of probiotics and synbiotics significantly reduced the HOMA-IR level compared to the control group (probiotic group: mean difference: -0.74; 95 % CI: -1.05 to -0.44, p < 0.001; synbiotic group: mean difference: -0.68; 95 % CI: -1.26 to -0.09, p: 0.02). CONCLUSIONS The use of probiotics in women with GDM reduced fasting plasma glucose, fasting serum insulin, and HOMA-IR levels. In addition, the use of synbiotics decreased HOMA-IR. Probiotic/synbiotic use is promising as a potential therapy to assist in glycemic control in gestational diabetes. Further high-quality studies are required to determine their safety.

Abstract
The evidence regarding the beneficial effects of probiotics/synbiotic supplementation have been revealed by several meta-analyses, however some of these studies have fielded inconsistent results and a conclusion has yet to be reached. Therefore, the aim of present umbrella meta-analyses was to assess relevant evidence and elucidate the efficacy of probiotics/synbiotic supplementation in glycemic control. A comprehensive search in four databases (Cochrane library, PubMed, Web of science and Scopus) was performed to collect relevant studies up to August 2022, the pooled effects were measured with the use of random/fix-effect model depends on the heterogeneity. A total of 47 eligible meta-analyses involving 47,720 participants were identified to evaluate the pooled effects. The overall results showed that probiotics/synbiotic supplementation delivered significant decreases in fast plasma glucose (ES = -0.408, 95% CI: -0.518, -0.298; P < 0.001; I2 = 82.996, P < 0.001), fast plasma insulin (ES = -1.165, 95% CI: -1.454, -0.876; P < 0.001; I2 = 89.629, P < 0.001), homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (ES = -0.539, 95% CI: -0.624, -0.454; P < 0.001; I2 = 56.716, P < 0.001), and glycosylated hemoglobin (ES = -0.186, 95% CI: -0.270, -0.102; P < 0.001; I2 = 59.647, P = 0.001). Subgroup analysis showed that patients with impaired glucose homeostasis might benefit the most from probiotics/synbiotic supplementation. In conclusion, current umbrella meta-analysis strongly supporting the beneficial health effects of probiotics/synbiotic supplementation in glycemic control.

Abstract
Identifying effective dietary supplements and medicinal herbs has attracted the attention of clinicians and researchers to complement the standard treatment in controlling diabetes mellitus. In the present overview, we aimed to collect studies with the highest level of evidence to shed light on detecting the most effective dietary supplements and medicinal herbs for controlling glycemic status. For the current overview, four electronic databases, including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library, were systematically searched from inception to 31 December 2020 and then updated until 1 October 2021 to obtain eligible meta-analyses on either dietary supplements or medicinal herbs and their effects on glycemic status. Fasting blood sugar (FBS) and Hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C) were considered as primary outcomes. Finally, ninety-one meta-analyses on dietary supplements (n = 55) and herbs (n = 36) were included. Evidence showed positive effects of chromium, zinc, propolis, aloe vera, milk thistle, fenugreek, cinnamon, ginger, and nettle on FBS and/or HbA1C. However, mostly the heterogeneity (I2) was high. Other supplements and herbs also showed no reduction in glucose levels or their effects were small. Although some dietary supplements and medicinal herbs showed a significant reduction in FBS and/or HbA1C, mostly their effects from the clinical point of view were not remarkable. In addition, due to high heterogeneity, publication bias, and a limited number of included studies in most cases further clinical trials are needed for making decision on anti-diabetic supplement efficacy.
