Brief Summary

Constipation is one of the common complication of diabetes mellitus, whose pathogenesis was previously recognized as decreased gastrointestinal motility caused by diabetic autonomic neuropathy. It is always treated with gastrointestinal motility drugs or laxatives which may have side effects such as gut microbiota dysbiosis and withdraw symptoms. Recently, researches have indicated that the risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus is associated with alterations in the structure of the gut microbiota and have begun to treat diabetic constipation by improving gut microbiota of these patients. The rational use of microecological preparation for the prevention and treatment of diabetic constipation has received increasing attention. This trial is aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Combined Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus, Enterococcus and Bacillus Cereus Tablets, Live (Siliankang) in the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes and constipation, and to analyze its influence on gut microbiota and blood glucose.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Number of bowel movements

    Changes from baseline in the number of completely spontaneous bowel movements (CSBMs) and number of spontaneous bowel movements (SBMs). Effectiveness is defined as CSBMs more than 3 times weekly (including 3 times) with increase from baseline, while ineffectiveness is defined as CSBMs less than 3 times weekly or with no increase from baseline.

    Baseline, Week 2, Week 4, Week 8, Week 12, Week 16

  • Glycosylated hemoglobin

    Changes from baseline in glycosylated hemoglobin.

    Baseline, Week 12, Week 16

  • Glycosylated albumin

    Changes from baseline in glycosylated albumin.

    Baseline, Week 2, Week 4, Week 8, Week 12, Week 16

Secondary Outcomes (9)

  • Gut micobiota

    Baseline, Week 4, Week 8, Week 12, Week 16

  • The ratio of CSBMs to SBMs

    Baseline, Week 2, Week 4, Week 8, Week 12, Week 16

  • Bristol Stool Scale

    Baseline, Week 2, Week 4, Week 8, Week 12, Week 16

  • Bowel Function Index (BFI)

    Baseline, Week 2, Week 4, Week 8, Week 12, Week 16

  • Patient Assessment of Constipation symptom (PAC-SYM)

    Baseline, Week 2, Week 4, Week 8, Week 12, Week 16

  • +4 more secondary outcomes
