A member asked:
Is colitis associated with type ii diabetes?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Colitis (inflammatory bowel diseases) and type 2 diabetes ("adult" diabetes) are not related illnesses. Both are chronic diseases, and some unlucky people do have both diseases. Patients with both conditions sometimes have difficulty managing the two problems at the same time.

No: No direct correlation but diabetes can certainly contribute to it.
