Sleep and probiotics in diabetes management

In this manuscript, we call attention to the importance of investigating affordable strategies to improve the management of diabetes. Studies indicate that imbalances in the gut microbiota may lead to the development and progression of this disease. At the same time, poor sleep and sleep disorders, which are very prevalent in individuals with diabetes, can be related to a worse prognosis for the disease and can be impacted by changes in the intestinal microbiome. A suggested treatment that may be effective in controlling diabetes and improving sleep quality through increased metabolic regulation is probiotic supplementation.
