  Obesity and diabetes are closely linked, but the good news is that both are preventable and manageable with early intervention. Understand how making small, sustainable changes to your lifestyles can help reduce the risk of diabetes and improve health.

The article from Moneycontrol discusses the link between obesity and the development of type 2 diabetes, explaining that excess body fat, particularly around the abdomen, can lead to insulin resistance. This resistance occurs when cells fail to respond properly to insulin, causing elevated blood sugar levels. The article highlights that obesity contributes to chronic inflammation and the release of free fatty acids, which further impair insulin sensitivity. It also notes that lifestyle factors such as poor diet and lack of physical activity exacerbate the risk. The piece emphasizes the importance of weight management through diet, exercise, and potentially medication or surgery to prevent or manage type 2 diabetes, and it calls for increased awareness and proactive health measures to combat the rising prevalence of both conditions.
