MICROBES AND DISEASES: CAN BACTERIAL IMBALANCE CAUSE DIABETES?
MICROBES AND DISEASES: CAN BACTERIAL IMBALANCE CAUSE DIABETES?
Diabetes is one of the diseases that nobody would like to deal with, and yet it has become prevalent in this century all over the world.
So, can bacterial imbalance cause diabetes?
As a Board-certified nutrition specialist, Chen Ben Asher, in practice, has seen many possible triggers that could lead to diabetes. And that’s why it is essential to address them not only after experiencing a big weight gain or loss. For many people still, bacteria doesn’t seem like a possible direct cause of diabetes or something that puts them in a risk category.

First, it is important to understand diabetes. “In type 1 diabetes, the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells in the body.” [1] Then, the disease progresses, making it impossible for cells to produce insulin. Insulin is necessary for cells to use sugars that they get from foods as fuel that is later used for various body functions. One research using endoscopies showed a gut bacteria and type 1 diabetes connection, as many of the people also had celiac disease and changes in gut inflammation as well as digestive bacteria. These findings are crucial in helping to provide the best possible support for developing diabetes or its full prevention. It is not easy to see and show differences in the gut so that others can understand the diabetic gut syndrome.
When there is no support, the sugar levels rise so high that it negatively affects eyes, blood vessels, nerves, and kidneys. In very serious cases, due to these diabetes symptoms, one can even lose eyesight.
Bacteria causing diabetes means that one of the most successful support options will be trying to normalize the whole bacterial environment that is out of balance. And one way to do it is to receive microbes from healthy people, where you could see result around six months. Around that time, blood sugar levels should start decreasing.
We can also look at gut microbiota and type 2 diabetes. According to recent studies, it showed “gut microbiome to development of highly prevalent diseases such as type 2 diabetes and obesity.” [2] Microorganism overgrowth changes the microbe amount in the gut and thus shifts the threat of diabetes and weight gain or obesity.
SIGNS OF BACTERIAL IMBALANCE:
- Changes in bowel
- Endotoxemia
- Interaction with bile acids
- Changes in brown adipose tissue
Prebiotics, microbiota transplant, and antibiotics are some of the possible support options. Every person needs a medical examination to determine if there is any bacterial or any other kind of imbalance. Nutrition and other aspects are also as important.
