Why is obesity easy to cause diabetes?

Obesity and diabetes are like twin brothers. Many people with long-term obesity are diagnosed with diabetes. Why is this? Many people are not clear. Let everyone know about it now.

Why is obesity easy to cause diabetes?

The underlying cause of diabetes caused by obesity is that organs that treat blood sugar in obese people are not sensitive to insulin and produce "insulin resistance."

Insulin is the most important hypoglycemic hormone in the human body. Only by relying on insulin, blood sugar can enter the cell and be used by the human body, while the glucose level in the blood is maintained within a certain range by insulin. However, when obesity occurs "insulin resistance", in order to meet the metabolic requirements, the pancreas must secrete insulin 5-10 times higher than the normal amount. That is to say, obese people need more insulin than normal people to get normal use of glucose. In order to overcome insulin resistance, the pancreas will synthesize a large amount of insulin, which causes the blood insulin level of obese people to be much higher than that of ordinary people. This is called "hyperprandemia".

What is the relationship between obesity and diabetes?

Diabetes is a common endocrine and metabolic disease and has become an important epidemic disease that threatens the health of all human beings. Among them, obesity is an important factor in the development of diabetes (mainly type 2 diabetes). Among the long-term obese people, the prevalence of diabetes is 4 to 5 times higher than that of ordinary people. In addition, 80% of people with type 2 diabetes are obese.

What is the relationship between obesity and diabetes?

Obesity is caused by changes in the body, excess substances are converted into fat, resulting in excessive body fat, exceeding normal physiological needs. Generally, 10% of the normal body weight is overweight, 20% of the standard weight is obese, and 20% of the standard weight is weight loss.

Obese patients have relatively few insulin receptors on adipocytes and are not sensitive to insulin. Although there is enough insulin to play a role, it brings a burden to the body, not only easy to induce diabetes, but also prone to high blood pressure, high blood fat, stroke, coronary heart disease, endocrine disorders and so on.
