Obesity and Metabolism for Diabetes

Sub-Track:

Obesity not only raises the risk for type 2 diabetes by causing insulin resistance but also disrupts metabolic health by altering fat tissue hormones, known as adipokines. These hormonal changes can upset the balance of weight, hunger, and how the body uses insulin. To prevent or manage diabetes, addressing obesity through dietary changes, increased physical activity, and behavioral modification is essential. For those with severe obesity and related metabolic issues, medical options like medications or bariatric surgery may be necessary to mitigate diabetes risk or improve diabetes control. This approach to managing obesity is crucial for maintaining overall metabolic health and preventing the onset or progression of diabetes.
According to health experts, the rise of diabetic type 2 case is due to obesity.
Over subsequent 20 years, the amount of obese adults within the country is forecast to soar to 26 million people.
