Jun 03, 2024 2:31 pm

Hi there,

I just wanted to share some information about Diabetes Type 2 and how it is linked to obesity and overweight.


DOES OBESITY CAUSE DIABETES TYPE 2 or OPPOSITE?

Type 2 diabetes is a complex metabolic disorder that can be influenced by various factors, including genetics, lifestyle, and environmental factors. While obesity is a significant risk factor for type 2 diabetes, it is not the sole cause of the disease. Instead, obesity is one of several factors that can contribute to the development of type 2 diabetes.

Facts:

☝️Almost 90% of people with type 2 diabetes are overweight or obese.

☝️Recent studies suggest obese people are up to 80 times more likely to develop type 2 diabetes than people with a normal BMI.


Factors that are related to development of Diabetes Type 2:

Obesity and Insulin Resistance

Adipose Tissue Inflammation

Genetic Factors

Lifestyle Factors

Other Risk Factors (age, ethnicity, specific health disorders)

Not all Diabetes type 2 patients qualify for weight loss surgery, however, for those, who do, bariatric surgery can be an effective tool for treating type 2 diabetes, leading to significant improvements in glycemic control, reduction in diabetes-related complications, and improvement in overall health and quality of life. 80-90% of diabetic bariatric surgery patients achieve a long-term disease improvement or resolution after the bariatric surgery. This improvement is often observed shortly after surgery, before even significant weight loss occurs.
