Obesity and Diabetes

Existing Research in Diabetes & Obesity Periodical is an international peer reviewed Open Access journal. Diabetes is a disorder of carbohydrate metabolism, usually occurring in genetically predisposed individuals, characterized by inadequate production or utilization of insulin and ensuing in excessive amounts of glucose in the blood and urine. Obesity and diabetes are closely linked health conditions that are part of a growing global health crisis. Obesity, characterized by excessive body fat, significantly increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. This is because excess fat, especially visceral fat stored around internal organs, can lead to insulin resistance—a condition where the body's cells become less responsive to insulin. As a result, blood glucose levels rise, leading to diabetes. The combination of obesity and diabetes, often referred to as "diabesity," poses severe health risks, including heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, and other complications, Managing obesity is crucial in preventing and controlling diabetes. Lifestyle modifications, such as a balanced diet, regular physical activity, and weight management, are effective strategies in reducing the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. For those already diagnosed with diabetes, maintaining a healthy weight can improve insulin sensitivity and glycemic control, potentially reducing the need for medication. Public health initiatives are increasingly focusing on education and preventive measures to address the obesity epidemic, highlighting the importance of healthy living to curb the rising incidence of diabetes worldwide, Obesity is an irregular accumulation of body fat, typically 20% or more over an individual's perfect body weight. Obesity is allied with increased risk of illness, disability, and death.
