This is according to new research based on data from over 278,000 60-year-olds, who were randomly selected to undergo one of two interventions or no screening at all (usual care). Gut bacteria patterns help predict insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes, study findsGut bacteria patterns help predict insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes, study finds https://www.news-medical.net/news/20260219/Gut-bacteria-patterns-help-predict-insulin-resistance-in-type-2-diabetes-study-finds.aspx?utm_source=news_medical_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=bowel_cancer_newsletter_24_february_2026 Researchers used 16S rRNA sequencing and machine learning to identify gut microbiome patterns associated with insulin resistance severity in people with type 2 diabetes. XGBoost models showed that specific bacterial genera, including Bacteroides and Faecalibacterium, help distinguish individuals with higher insulin resistance from healthy controls.
