What is the conclusion?

March states that the time needed to reduce glucose levels after a meal, is same as compared to a normal rat, and it is matched to the glucose levels in the blood, in the case of a pancreas that functions normally. The center of glucose control is being changed from the pancreas to the upper intestine. On the other hand, the modified probiotic had no effect on the blood glucose levels of healthy rats. If the rat has the ability to manage glucose, excess insulin isn’t required.

The team is prepared to check if higher doses of the engineered probiotic in diabetic rats can reverse the condition, and in doing so, cure diabetes. If the results are successful, their tie-up with biopharmaceutical company, BioPancreate will bear fruits in the form of a probiotic pill, taken each morning to check the spread of diabetes.
