ABSTRACT Aims/Introduction: Helicobacter pylori infection is associated with insulin resistance and glycemia in nondiabetes. However, the relationship between Helicobacter pylori infection and glycemia in diabetes remains inconclusive. Therefore, we explored the effect of Helicobacter pylori infection status and its eradication on glycemic control and antidiabetic therapy in type 2 diabetes.
Materials and Methods: A total of 549 diabetic patients were recruited for sequential two-step approach (IgG serology followed by 13 C-urea breath test, UBT) to discriminate “active” (IgG+ and UBT+) from “non-active” (UBT- or IgG-) Helicobacter pylori infection, and “Past” (IgG+ but UBT-) from “Never/remote” (IgG-) infection. The differences in hemoglobin A1c (A1C) and anti-diabetic regimens between groups were compared. In the “active” infection group, the differences in A1C changes between subjects with and without ten-day eradication therapy were compared after three months.

Results: Despite no between-group difference in A1C, the “active” infection group (n=208) had significantly more prescriptions of oral antidiabetic drug (OAD) classes (2.1 ± 1.1 vs. 1.8 ± 1.1, p=0.004) and higher percentages of sulfonylurea usage (67.3% vs. 50.4%, p
