Introduction: In this study, we compared LAB metabolites with Yuquan Pill (a traditional Chinese medicine used in diabetic patients) to confirm the efficacy of LAB metabolites alone in diabetes patients.

Methods: Sixty untreated diabetic patients were divided into two groups, and a 3 month interventional clinical trial was conducted using test food with LAB metabolites, and Yuquan Pill as a positive control.

Results: LAB metabolites are shown to statistically significantly improve clinical symptoms, blood glucose levels, and HbA1c levels compared to Yuquan Pill. Both LAB metabolites and Yuquan Pill also statistically significantly improved blood glucose levels and HbA1c compared to pre-administration.

Conclusion: A 3 month administration of LAB metabolites is effective in improving blood glucose levels and HbA1c in untreated diabetic patients.
