why does obestity around the abdomen cause diabetes type II?

Answer 1

Insulin sensitivity is decreased in slightly overweight men with mild type 2 diabetes and that this correlates closely with an increase in truncal fat mass and a decrease in physical fitness. Whether the unexpectedly high levels of malonyl CoA in muscle, together with the diminished suppression of plasma free fatty acid, explains the insulin resistance of the diabetic patients , remains to be determined.

Answer 4

The fat around the belly and the diabetes most likely result from the same bad eating habits. We Americans eat a diet that kills most laboratory animals.
Read: How to Prevent and Treat Diabetes with Natural Medicine by Mike Murray for an in depth discussion of diet and its effect on diabetes and obesity.

Answer 5

One poster seems to think it's more hereditary than anything. The book I read, seems to indicate otherwise. It's more diet than anything that causes it. Sure, you can have a genetic predisposition for it, but anyone who overeats can get it. Read this:

For type I and type II diabetics (and those who are overweight and could potentially become diabetic). Copy and bookmark the webpages I‘ve listed below… they are invaluable for those with diabetes and/or weight problems...

I've found a wonderful book that will help you control your diabetes and minimize or even eliminate the complications. Some folks who became diabetic due to poor diet and obesity are effectively cured by following the advice in this book. I'm a type II (inherited), but it helps all types, especially those who became diabetic due to poor eating habits. It's by an author who has really done his homework, Patrick Quillin, Phd. It's called, "The Diabetes Improvement Program". I have tried his suggestions and found them to be very helpful. I have no complications whatsoever and my blood sugar levels are quite stable. Yes, I still have to take Metformin (Glucophage) daily, but it's the minimum dosage (500mg) and I only have to take it twice a day. I have been off Metformin for as much as a week, but this was with vigorous exercise. Many, what I call, non-hereditary type IIs (those that don't have a close relative who had it) have gotten off medication completely, just with diet, exercise, and supplements. So, in some instances, it most certainly can be 'effectively' cured. Read more about it here:

The book explains what's going on in our system and what to do about it. It's really easy and inexpensive. It's basically diet, supplements, and exercise. For example, did you know that cinnamon helps blood sugar absorption? It also controls cholesterol and triglycerides. This is according to the USDA:

For men: Are you suffering from erectile dysfunction? I was. Yes, WAS. Now that everything's under control, I'm able to have nearly normal sex again. I've also put together a little webpage highlighting some of the things I've learned here:

Answer 6

In most cases, my diabetic nurse told me that Diabetes, type II is hereditary. If you are overweight, this is when you have the problems that may come from somewhere in your long line of family history. It could be your grandma's great grandma, or your father's 2nd cousin. There is a lot of argument to this. People thing you get Diabetes cuz you are fat, but I have been taught that it is hereditary, and that when you are obese, this is when you are most vulnerable to Diabetes.

Answer 7

Please see the webpage for more details on Obesity.
Causes of Diabetes.
(1) Hereditory factors.(parents, brothers & sisters having diabetes.)
(2) Overweight & belly stomach.
(3) Over 45 years of age.
(4) Ethnic community more suceptible for diabetes.
(5) Women who had gestational diabetes and those who had delivered a baby having a weight more than 4 Kg.
(6) High Blood Pressure.(above 140/90 mm Hg)
(7) Persons having high triglycerides level.
(8) Persons having high cholesterol in the blood.
Obesity is not the only cause but one of the causes for diabetes.

Answer 8

Your pancreas produces the insulin. Because every single fat cell in your body needs insulin (as well as all the other cells in your body), the fatter you are, the more your pancreas has to work to provide insulin to your body. Over time, the pancreas simply wears out and becomes less efficient. By staying as close to your ideal weight as possible, you make the pancreas' job easier so it lasts longer and you reduce your risk of diabetes. That's why diabetics who are fat often reverse the course of their disease when they lose weight...the pancreas doesn't have to work so hard.

Please understand that this is an oversimplification AND not the only reason for diabetes, but it but does answer your particular question.

Answer 9

Some doctors are prescribing new drugs which deal more with emotions, (like for bipolar behavior and OCD) which ADD sufferers more often than not have an issue with. and Yes those can cause diebetes due to the unusaul appetite changes. Consult with your doctor and pharmacist, even webmd has alot of info on the side effects of medication. Anytime a medication increases your appetite there is a possibility of diebetic onset.

Answer 10

Forget anything you have ever been told about Diabetes.

And get this - it has nothing to do with insulin, exercise, diet or anything else you've heard in the past. It's all based on latest breakthrough research that Big Pharma is going Stir Crazy to hide from you.
