HARRISBURG, Pa., Aug. 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Nearly 5,000
diabetes educators may be inclined to say "yes"—gut bacteria are at
the root of the disease after they visit the Prebiotin booth at
this year's American Association of Diabetes Educators (AADE)
Annual Conference (held in Baltimore,
MD, August 17-20).
With every study that focuses on diabetes and the microbiome,
research is more definite that if you have diabetes, you also have
an unhealthy mix of bacteria in your gut.
Researchers have found that so much of the disease, especially
type 2 diabetes, is largely the result of excess body weight and
problems associated with gut bacteria. Numerous studies with
oligofructose-enriched inulin (OEI), the ingredient in Prebiotin,
demonstrate that regular supplementation allows beneficial bacteria
like bifidobacteria and lactobacilli to flourish, while reducing
the abundance of Firmicutes and other undesirable
microbes.
Other studies show that by supporting this healthy shift of the
microbial balance in the gut microbiome, regular supplementation
with Prebiotin can reduce the inflammation and "leaky gut"
conditions that result in increased disease risk, obesity, and
illnesses like diabetes.
In a current NIH study that focuses on finding therapeutic means
to reduce inflammation and prolong survival of patients with end
stage renal disease (ESRD), researchers chose
Prebiotin® Prebiotic Fiber to study the effect of the
supplement on the gut microbiome profile. Due to early positive
results, researchers are discussing a larger study to further
explore the role of prebiotic fiber in reducing inflammation.
Diabetes is one of the main risk factors for ESRD.
"Ongoing research is beginning to unravel the role of the
microbiome in the development and subsequent clinical course of
type 2 diabetes," says Prebiotin Medical Director, F. Wilson Jackson, MD, gastroenterologist. "As
we understand this interplay, we are able to harness the power of
the microbiome to further treat type 2 diabetes. The potential
to modulate the gut microbiome offers a new therapeutic approach.
These are exciting and promising times for patients with the
disease."
About 500 million people worldwide suffer from some form of
diabetes. In the United States,
30.3 million Americans—or 9.4 percent of the population—have
diabetes, according to the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) in a 2017 report. More than a third of U.S. adults
have prediabetes and aren't aware of it. In 2015, diabetes was the
7th leading cause of death in the U.S.
Since diabetes has such a major impact on public health,
Prebiotin recognizes and supports the role of the American
Association of Diabetes Educators [AADE] in teaching health care
professionals and patients alike about the most current and best
practices for diabetes care.
"We hope those attending the AADE conference recognize our
product has a legitimate, researched impact on the microbiome and
can play an important role in therapeutic responses to dysbiosis,
the microbial imbalance in the body leading to inflammation—and
diabetes," says Greg Cooper,
Prebiotin Director of Product and Business Development.
Prebiotin CEO Ron E. Walborn Jr. and Greg Cooper, Director of Product and Business
Development, will be available to answer questions at the
event.
"We provide an all-natural prebiotic option that improves health
and well-being, including reducing risk and symptoms of diabetes,
while promoting healthy weight loss," says Prebiotin CEO Ron Walborn.
"The AADE18 conference is a perfect fit for us."
