*2.5.15 Type 2 diabetes mellitus*

Experiments have shown that Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus can be result of dysbiosis of gut microbiota. This microbiota is involved in the permeability of gut mucosa and immune system of host which are linked to the type 2 diabetes mellitus. Different type of probiotic strains either single or multiple can be used for intervening type 2 diabetes mellitus. Probiotics that are mainly used to treat the symptoms of type 2 diabetes are *Lactococcus*, *Bifidobacterium* and *Lactobacillus*. After the oral probiotic administration can be helpful in modulating the immune function, gut microbiota and balancing the energy metabolism. Therefore it was suggested that probiotics are involved in reducing the incidence, delaying and reversing the complications of Type 2 diabetes [83].
