<i><scp>H</scp>elicobacter pylori</i> infection associated with high <scp>H</scp>b<scp>A</scp>1c and type 2 diabetes

Abstract

Long-term H. pylori infection is significantly associated with high levels of HbA1c and decreased insulin secretion in this Chinese population. Proper screening for H. pylori infection combined with regular monitoring of blood glucose and HbA1c levels might be effective for the early detection of glucose dysregulation and prevention of type 2 diabetes.
