Unitl very recently the vast majority of case of diabetes were Type 1, childhood onset diabetes. What used to be called "adult onset diabetes" is now called Type 2 because obese children are now getting the disease.
Type 1 is caused by a deficiency of insulin due to damage to the pancreatic islet cells for mostly unknown reasons. Type 2 is caused by resistance to the action of insulin in the muscles and other organs. In Type 2 blood insuiin is higher than normal. Insulin resistance is markedly accentuated by an incease in visceral fat, that present around the intestine. Blood from the intestine drains directly through the liver and visceral fat produces a number of potentially damagiing substances. Removal of subcutaneous fat by liposuction, while improving superficial appearance, does nothing to reduce the risk of Type 2 diabetes.
In the US and CanadaThe incidence of Type 2 diabetes has increased exponentially in the last 20 years in concert with the increase in obesity.
Weight loss dramatically reduces the development of Type 2 diabetes
Half of the middle-aged population of the US is leaving the doctor's office with pills for "cholesterol" and Type 2 diabetes!
"Hey, my cholesterol and blood sugar are OK, now I can eat everything". Wonder why there is an obesity pandemIc?
