I am searching for bacterial genome found playing any role in diabetes phases
Dear Emesto...
Various research into diabetes has found a link between diabetes, intestinal permeability, and gut bacteria. The microflora colonized the digestive tract may play a role in the development of diabetes.

It is also suggested that there is a relationship between diabetes and H. pylori infections.

A diet rich in fruit and vegetables can help treat type 2 diabetes – and it seems to do this by changing the bacteria that live in a person’s gut.
Liping Zhao at Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China and his colleagues compared the effects of two different diets in people with type 2 diabetes. Over 12 weeks, 16 people followed a standard low-fat, low-carb diet, while 27 people ate a lot of high-fibre foods, such as wholegrains, seeds and vegetables.
Both groups also took a drug called acarbose, which makes people digest starch more slowly than usual. This allows starch to reach the large intestine, where microbes feed upon it.
By the end of the trial, 89 per cent of those on the high-fibre diets showed signs that their bodies were regulating their blood sugar levels more effectively – compared to 50 per cent of the control group. Volunteers who ate more fibre also lost more weight, and had better blood lipid profiles. “Increasing dietary fibres can improve diabetes,” says Zhao.
Researchers have suggested the relationship between diabetes and Helicobacter pylori.There are evidences to believe that increase intake of fibers in food may help in diabetes.It is advised that one should change the life style by doing physical exercise including yoga and pranayam and eating more vegetables and fruits.Fatty foods should be avoided in diet.
