Association of Insulin Resistance and Type 2 Diabetes With Gut Microbial Diversity

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

In this cross-sectional study, higher microbiome α diversity, along with more butyrate-producing gut bacteria, was associated with less type 2 diabetes and with lower insulin resistance among individuals without diabetes. These findings could help provide insight into the etiology, pathogenesis, and treatment of type 2 diabetes.
