Obesity Leads to Type 2 Diabetes
Filed in archive Weight on February 5, 2007
An article in Reuter's Health News reports:
Although obesity and lack of physical activity both raise the risk of type 2 diabetes in women, obesity appears to be the more important factor, researchers report in the journal Diabetes Care.
I have to admit I have a problem with my weight. My BMI is around the 30 mark. One thing to remember, those pounds are easier to put on than they are to take off. I can take my grandkids through those Golden Arches, eat a burger and fries, and gain five pounds overnight.
But you can gain weight, even if you eat all the proper foods. How? By indulging in too large portions.
Shereen Jegtvig, About.com Guide to Nutrition, has this to say:
Portions of food are getting bigger and bigger. Candy bars are bigger, Fast Food Restaurants serve bigger meals for just a few cents extra and even regular restaurants serve larger portions than needed for a meal. One quick tip for weight control is to watch your portion size.
Fit Express Blog has a great idea. Use small spoons and small bowls for a small waist.

Diabetes treatment depends on the type and severity of the diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is treated with insulin, exercise, and a diabetic diet. Type 2 diabetes is first treated with weight reduction, a diabetic diet, and exercise. When these measures fail to control the elevated blood sugars, oral medications are used. If oral medications are still insufficient, insulin medications are considered.

Information about
Obesity does not lead to diabetes. Insulin resistance leads to obesity and diabetes. It is a metabolic problem. Think about it. The majority of fat people will never get diabetes, plus there are a lot of people who get it at a normal weight.
The reason most people who get it are fat is because a, probably genetic, problem with carbohydrate metabolism has been messing up their systems for years before their blood sugar finally deteriorates to the point their pancreases start to fail and doctors finally notice. Insulin resistance and fluctuating blood sugars levels cause relentless hunger. The fat people who will never get it have normal pancreases that can keep up with the blood sugar load and keep making new ß-cells that make more and more insulin.
