Can diabetes lead to obesity?

Question

We know that obesity can be a cause of diabetes, but can diabetes actually cause obesity??

Answer 1

Absolutely, as you become more and more insulin resistant the fat tends to build up around your middle- near your pancreas. If you have excellent control you can avoid this extra weight, but it takes a lot of discipline and effort.
PS- When you are initially diagnosed patients will see a major weight loss (before the honeymoon phase of diabetes) this is because the body is literally "eating" away at itself and patients will become very thin (type I that it). Eventually however after insulin is introduced the tendency is for overweight. And for type 2- the patient is usually overweight to begin with and the inability to properly process sugars continues without exercise, nutrition and medicine in some cases.

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.

I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

I agree with Shannon. There are so many different types of diabetes and most people are not even aware of them. I am also a Type 1.5. When my levels were uncontrolled, I lost a significant amount of weight. Once I was stabilized with insulin I rapidly gained back most of that weight and am now considered overweight by medical standards. I am careful with what I eat, control my portions well, do not over-indulge and am very active, but I cannot get the extra weight off. My doctors would prefer that I lose a few pounds, but are happy that I have such good control of my glucose levels.

Actually, obesity can cause Adult Onset Diabetes that is caused by lifestyle habits. Poor eating habits ( consuming alot of fatty foods, unhealthy diet choices) and lack of exercise. However, with Type 1 Diabetes or Juvenile Diabetes, if the person doesn't stick to their diet plan, lack of exercise, then, sure, they can become overweight but, it would not be from the Diabetes itself. In not being compliant with their lifestyle habits, their Diabetes can worsen. I hope that this helps.

Answer 7

WebMD has a generous amount of info. Many people are only aware of 2 or 3 types but there are 5 types of diabetes. A couple of family/friends have had severe weight gain in a short period of time. They were told they have type 2 diabetes because they were adults. One 2yrs later & the other shortly after that discovered they had type 1.5 (adult onset Juvi diabetes). I could see the sudden weight gain in them. Hope this helped.

Answer 8

Obesity is usually a factor in the developement of diabetes, but the opposite can occur as well because of insulin use and the fact that diabetes can have effects that hinder regular excercise.
