Dear respected colleagues,,
Your viewpoint and valuable comments would be highly appreciated.
Thank you all.

When you become obese, your body cells become less sensitive to the activities of insulin which lead to the development of diabetes.
Thank you very much Dear Dr. Arvind Singh and Sandhyarani Khomdram for your sincere and wonderful comments.
I greatly appreciate your valuable response.

Dear Sikandar Khan
Obesity is linked to insulin resistance and once insulin resistance develops, it does not allow insulin to result in desirable biological actions at cellular levels and thus diabetes results.

There are also many genetic forms of diabetes, each usually resulting from a single gene mutation that affects pancreatic function in some way. Finally, there is type 2 diabetes (T2D), which accounts for more than 90% of cases globally. Media reports of diabetes, particularly in the context of obesity, usually relate to T2D, the two terms often being used interchangeably.

Obesity can lead to other illnesses from chronic to acute, some very severe and deadly, such as Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, Coronary Artery Disease, Coronary Vascular Disease, Heart attack, stroke, and even cancer. All of these diseases are very preventable if one can educate themselves and learn to be more careful with what they eat and how much physical activity they do. 4 of the top 10 leading causes of death are all related to obesity, and are direct causes of obesity.
Dear Praveen N M
Thanks a lot for your elegant answers.
With my best regards!
Why Does Obesity Cause Diabetes? Being overweight or obese increases the chances of developing the common type of diabetes, type 2 diabetes. In this disease, the body makes enough insulin but the cells in the body have become resistant to the salutary action of insulin.
