Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Helicobacter pylori Gastritis in Patients Referred for Endoscopy—A Single-Center Romanian Study
In an endoscopic population, patients with T2DM had lower hemoglobin and serum iron levels. There was an inverse correlation between T2DM and heartburn. <i>H. pylori</i> gastritis and premalignant lesions occurred more frequently in diabetic patients (predominantly pangastritis) before adjusting for age or associated comorbidities, with smoking increasing the risk for active infection.
