Relation between Obesity and Diabetes?
The obesity-diabetes connection
There is a silent pandemic raging unnoticed in our midst and it is wreaking havoc on the health of millions worldwide. The pandemic we’re referring to is obesity. It hits almost one in three persons—higher in some countries, and it brings a variety of so-called 'lifestyle disorders’, ranging from diabetes to heart disease to psychological issues.
The link between obesity and diabetes has been the subject of many studies and the findings are constant: a BMI equal to or greater than 30, which is the clinical determinant for obesity, raises the risk of contracting diabetes to 90%!
Barely a few decades back less than 170 million worldwide were estimated to have type 2 diabetes, that number has already doubled and doubled again many times over. This increase in numbers corresponds to the rise in diabetes too. This is not a coincidence. There is a very strong causal link between the two. The good news is that reducing excess weight, even by 10%, leads to a marked improvement in blood sugar numbers and overall quality of life.
This article dives into the connection between obesity and diabetes, and what you can do to reduce your risk.
