Type 2 & other diabetes

Ingesting probiotic yogurt containing Lactiplantibacillus plantarum OLL2712 (OLL2712) improves glycaemic control in adults with prediabetes in a randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled trial

Diabetes Obes MetabPublished Randomised controlled trial

Authors' conclusion

The ingestion of OLL2712 prevents the deterioration of glycaemic control and maintains the HbA1c levels within the normal range in adults with prediabetes; yogurt probably exhibits similar effects, which may contribute to reducing the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Study context

Population
Healthy adults with prediabetes (HbA1c 5.6%-6.4%, age 20–64 years); followed 8 weeks after discontinuation
Participants
148 adults
Comparison
Yogurt containing heat-treated OLL2712 cells vs conventional yogurt (placebo), daily for 12 weeks
  • OLL2712n = 74
  • Placebon = 74reference
Primary endpoint
Changes in HbA1c levels by analysis of covariance
Follow-up
Weeks 12 and 16
Methodological detailsdouble-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group
  • Double-blind

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

Change in HbA1c
  • OLL2712 vs Placebo: P = 0.014
  • OLL2712 vs Placebo: P = 0.006
  • Analysis of covariance

Further findings

HbA1c and glycoalbumin vs week 0 · weeks 12 and 16

HbA1c and glycoalbumin decreased significantly in both groups at week 12 vs week 0, but only in the OLL2712 group at week 16

HbA1c · week 20

No significant inter- and intragroup differences in HbA1c
