Efficacy of inulin supplementation in metabolic control and Akkermansia muciniphila levels in subjects with type 1 diabetes: a pilot study.
Key Points
The research aims to evaluate the effects of inulin supplementation on metabolic control and Akkermansia muciniphila levels in type 1 diabetes patients.
Pilot study design
Inulin supplementation administered to subjects
Assessment of body weight and insulin needs
Evaluation of Akkermansia muciniphila levels
Inulin led to a slight decrease in body weight
Insulin needs were reduced with inulin supplementation
No significant increase in Akkermansia muciniphila levels observed
Abstract
Inulin was associated with a slight body weight decrease and insulin need reduction, but not with an increase in Akkermansia muciniphila levels. More studies are required to explore this issue.
