Could chronic parasitic infections be an overlooked driver of insulin resistance and rising A1C? In this episode of The Ask Dr. Ernst Show, we examine how intestinal parasites can disrupt gut integrity, trigger systemic inflammation, impair nutrient absorption, and alter liver metabolism—creating the perfect internal environment for blood sugar dysfunction. You’ll learn how exposure happens, the symptom patterns most clinicians miss, advanced testing options, and a structured strategy to eliminate parasites and restore metabolic stability at the root.
