Abbreviations: UD, untreated diabetic; DTI, diabetic + treated with insulin; DTP, diabetic + treated with probiotic; DTVit-C, diabetic + treated with vitamin C; DTP + Vit-C, diabetic + treated with probiotic and vitamin C; The data are presented as the mean ± SEM (n = 5 for each group); Values in the same row having different superscript letters are significantly (p < 0.05) different.
