There is some evidence that increased intestinal permeability plays a role in the development of type 1 diabetes (1).

Type 1 diabetes is caused by an autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas (19).

It has been suggested that the immune reaction responsible for beta cell destruction may be triggered by foreign substances "leaking" through the gut (20, 21).

One study found that 42% of individuals with type 1 diabetes had significantly elevated zonulin levels. Zonulin is a known moderator of intestinal permeability (22).

In an animal study, rats that developed diabetes were found to have abnormal intestinal permeability prior to developing diabetes (23).

Many studies have shown some connections between leaky gut syndrome with multiple chronic diseases including Type 1 diabetes but I do not understand why this condition has not proven by science nor some health professionals. This condition can make people become really sick 😕
