Abstract

The interaction between and the circadian clock may play a significant role in the development of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

  • Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a significant global health issue with unclear causes.
  • Irregular sleep patterns and unhealthy diets disrupt the body's natural circadian rhythms.
  • There is an emerging understanding that gut microbiota interacts with the circadian clock to influence metabolism.
  • The literature suggests a close relationship between gut microbiota regulation and circadian clock function in T2DM.
  • Exploring gut microbiota-directed therapies may offer new avenues for managing T2DM linked to circadian disruptions.
