Is h pylori can raise blood sugar? Bcs my uncle got high blood sugar, never happened before

My uncle 48 Male
Had acid reflux chronic since 11 years ago
He have done discussion to may MD, and gasteroenterology
Unluckily we are in indonesian, so poor instrument, even big hospitals didnt have UBT, or antigen H pylori
And the doctor mostly didnt know, INEXPERIENCED about this bug
They ALWAYS talk, "stomach problem bcs ure stressed"
So poor literacy in our country even the doctor doesnt updates the sciences
But prevalence of acid reflux in ma country is high, doctor cant solved bcs they doesnt know the roots of problem, if they dint know they only said "your uncle may be has an IBS" really they dont deserve to wear white chollars

Its interesting in Indonesia because H. pylori prevalence is not high.
Usually it's the Chinese descendant or other migrants that carry H. pylori.
The native locals are usually free of H. pylori.

Anyway, H. pylori does not lead to blood sugar problem.

I'm not sure about h pylori prevalence is low in Indonesia
We can't say low prevalence because the examination like a breath test or stool test or antigen, is very very rare
Since most hospitals don't provide the instrument to detect h pylori

So I believe, IF we test every patient who had gastritis in Indonesia mostly native people, the result will be a high prevalence of h pylori

Anyway, gastritis prevalence so high here.

I'm not MD or medical scientist, but I want to write anything about h. Pylori something useful for helping my people who had a persistent problem with acid reflux or related problems

we actually tried to track human migration using H. pylori.
to our surprise, the local Indonesian and Malaysian (Orang Asli), are free of H. pylori.
