Metabolites produced by gut microbiota could be pathogenic or beneficial to the host. Gut microbiota varies among countries, age and sex, there is a possibility that the microbe‐associated metabolites might vary among countries, age and sex. Further studies are required to clarify the relationship among diet, gut microbiota, gut microbiota‐related metabolites and development of type 2 diabetes.
