Helicobacter pylori Bacterial Infection Is Associated with Type 2 Diabetes, Not Type 1 Diabetes

I think it was H pylori to blame back in the day when I had a stomach ulcer - I needed to have a lot of antibiotics shortly after that when I developed tracheitis - next thing to pneumonia, and that, plus a rest from the very stressful job I was doing at the time seemed to have effected a cure.
Maybe it didn't....

Hi @Khaled1972

I’m just going to tag @Lamont D into the thread, since he may find it interesting. I believe his glucose dysregulation (which is reactive hypoglycaemia, not type 2 diabetes) may have been caused by H. Pylori

Thank you @Khaled1972, for this information.
I wonder whether successful treatment of H. Pylori infection is associated with improvement in control of one's diabetes.

Hi, Khaled,
I was diagnosed with Heliocobacter Pylori back in 2005 (ish), this was only diagnosed because of an endoscopy and a biopsy taken for lab tests.
The resultant bacterial infection and treatment of antibiotics lead to my insulin response becoming weak due to high levels of circulating insulin, insulin resistance and hyperinsulinaemia. My body was triggering too much insulin after carbs, because of the quick gastric dumping because of this weak initial insulin response.

The main reason for type two, I believe is because of insulin resistance due to a weak initial insulin response, the continuous glucose spikes, the high levels of circulating insulin due to insulin resistance and the misunderstanding of how insulin is a major factor in type two diabetes.

Wether they have the heliocobacter pylori infection, is up to debate, but I agree along with insulin tests instead of hba1c, a lot more at the prediabetic stage would not succumb to diabetes.

As with insulin tests, the cost to the NHS, would be a reason not to do these tests to test every patient to an endoscopy.

There are many endocrine conditions that are not well researched or because the diversity of each type or condition, the whole diabetes diagnosis and treatment should be treated individually, not as has become the norm from GP surgeries.

The more our doctors learn about non diabetic and diabetic endocrine conditions, the less they know.

And until, they realise, that what is considered a healthy diet, is definitely not healthy for these conditions.

I wish you success in your personal battle with your medical team.

Best wishes

ooer, well that's something, i had triple therapy for that when first diagnosed!
