Is There a T1D – Gut Connection?
Across America, over 37 million people have diabetes with 1 out of 5 not knowing they have it. Diabetes is the 7th leading cause of death in the United States and the number 1 leading cause of kidney failure, lower-limb amputations, and adult blindness (1).
Worldwide, an extra 500+ million are living with diabetes, or 1 out of 10 people. Global diabetic numbers are expected to rise to 643 million by 2030. It’s also estimated that 6.7 million deaths can be attributed to diabetes (2).
What factors might be influencing diabetes development? And do they have any influence on blood sugars?
Gut health studies have put medical research on fire in how many conditions they’re finding associated with gut dysfunction.
And type 1 diabetes is 1 of them!
