Diabetes 'may be caused by harmful bugs in the gut'

[Northerner]

Diabetes could be caused by harmful bugs in our gut, according to a study.
Scientists have shown people with the metabolic disease have more bacteria in their intestines - a breakthrough which could lead to quicker and earlier diagnosis.
Patients with type 2 diabetes - the form that develops in adults and is linked to obesity - is rising rapidly.
Study leader, Professor Jun Wang, from Copenhagen University, said: 'We have demonstrated people with type 2 diabetes have a high level of pathogens in their intestines.'

I think the problem is that Type 2 is intrinsically linked to obesity, when in reality this is not the case - this is what so many sources seem to overlook
