Have you ever wondered how your body… as a diabetic…
Breaks down food and absorbs nutrients?
The intestines are one of the major organs that decide…
How high your blood glucose… and how resistant your insulin will be!
There are 2 intestines: * The small intestine
* And the large intestine….
And they are both part of what we commonly refer to “The gut”....
Along with the stomach.
So… as a diabetic…
What do you need to know about your gut?
Well… don’t go anywhere and keep watching.
In this video… we’ll explore the role of the intestines…
Whether or not they contain germs…
And how they can play a major role in managing your diabetes!

And now… let’s dive into your gut by looking at…
The role of intestines Your gut is made of 2 intestines.
Surprisingly… the small intestine is the one that takes the most room in your body.
It is between 20 to 30 feet long… and its role is to absorb food.
Within the small intestine…
Food moves within 3 main sections: The Duodenum… which mixes semi-digested
food with bile from the: * Gallbladder
* Liver * And pancreas…
The Jejunum… which absorbs fatty acids… sugars… and amino acids….
And the Ileum… which processes most of the nutrients…
Before passing foods along to the large intestine.
The large intestine is about 5 feet long.
It surrounds the small intestine and its role is to process:
* Salts * And liquids… left from the digestive process.
Most nutrients are already absorbed by the time food reaches the large intestine.
However…
things like: * Fiber
* Water * Dead cells
* And Bile…
Are broken down further before exiting the body.
In order to function properly…
The intestines rely on their Flora…
Which is a group of bacterias.
So…
Does that mean the Intestines contain germs?
Not quite.
Germs refers to fungi… bacteria… and viruses that can:
* Intoxidate * Damage
* Or kill… healthy cells.
In short…
Germs are bad!
But within the intestinal flora… not all bacteria are bad.
In fact… a wide variety of bacteria is essential for gut health!
Research has shown that…
They are between 300 to 500 different bacteria species in the gut….
And the gut contains millions of bacteria.
So while the intestines don't automatically contain germs…
They can definitely be prone to them.
Symptoms of nausea… vomiting… and stomach pain…
Can sometimes be the results of germs.
So… is it possible for diabetics… because of their conditions…
To have more germs… or bad bacteria… in their gut?
And how does the intestine work when dealing with diabetes?

The role of the Intestines in diabetes The bacteria found in the intestines and overall
gut…
Influences how your body uses insulin… and manages blood glucose.
Keeping your intestines flora rich in various bacterias…
By eating a healthy and regulated diet….
Can make it easier to manage diabetes!
Alternatively… a poor diet and lifestyle…
Can increase the risks of gut imbalance…
Making room for bad bacterias and potential germs to develop.
When this happens….
Intestines may struggle to do their job… and as a result…influence:
* Insulin resistance * blood glucose
* Inflammation * And the risks of diabetes complications.
Scientific reviews have observed that…
Diabetes and gut health go hand in hand.
Diabetes… especially diabetes mellitus…
Which is a metabolic disorder that prevents the body from regulating glycemia…
Can modify the genome and bacteria in the gut….
And as a result…
influence more: * Bad bacteria
* And diabetes complications.
Additionally…
Poor gut health can lead to the same results.
Diabetes can also bring more obvious intestinal problems such as:
* Constipation * And gastroparesis.
Gastroparesis is a condition in which food remains in the stomach… for longer than
it should.
While this condition is more common in women than men…
Diabetes is the primary cause of the intestinal disorder.
This is because diabetes can damage the vagus nerve… which regulates:
* The digestive system * And its bacteria.
With gastroparesis…
you can experience: * Heartburn
* Stomach pain * Bloating
* Lack of appetite * Sudden Weight loss
* And difficulty controlling blood glucose.
However…
studies point out that…
Gastroparesis is more common in people with Type-1 diabetes.
This is likely because… as type-1 diabetes is considered an auto-immune disease…
Bad bacteria and germs… are more likely to develop in the intestines.
Overall…
The intestines… or gut…
Are a vital part of the digestive process.
The term “germs” is used to define “bad” bacterias….
Which the intestines don't naturally contain.
Instead…
Their flora is filled with healthy and neutral bacterias.
However…
diabetes can damage the intestinal flora… and make it more prone to germs….
The same way poor gut health can trigger diabetes complications.
Keeping your intestines healthy as a diabetic…
Will ultimately come down to a varied… healthy… and nutrient-rich diet.
And there you have it.
Everything you need to know about intestines…
germs…
And their role with diabetes.
