In this study, researchers analyzed data from people who took part in two U.S. National Health and Nutrition Surveys and found that the presence of H. pylori bacteria was consistently associated with elevated levels of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), an indicator of blood glucose levels and diabetes.

This association was strongest in obese people, according to the study published March 14 in the Journal of Infectious Diseases.

H. pylori may affect the levels of two stomach hormones that help regulate blood glucose, New York University School of Medicine researchers Yu Chen and Dr. Martin Blaser said in a journal news release. They suggested that using antibiotics to eliminate H. pylori in some older obese patients could prove beneficial.

Helicobacter pylori is a spiral-shaped bacterium that infects well over 30% of the world’s population. In some countries it infects more than 50% of the population.
My daughter's father had stomach ulcers and back in those days it was treated very differently. Now of course, it's known that the H pylori caused the stomach ulcers.

So putting 2 and 2 together, I wonder how this impacts on the rapidly increasing epidemic of Diabetes etc.. I mean to say, 30% of the world's population have this. Unreal.

Very interesting also thanks Chemar. Just looking at info. about that now.

I'm going to pass all this info.. onto my daughter as well.
