How is obesity related to non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Obesity increases insulin resistance in non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus patients by increasing blood glucose concentration.

Step by step solution

01

Obesity

Obesity is a 鈥渃hronic medical condition鈥� that increases the various health problems like:

  • Cancer
  • Cardiovascular disease
  • Type 2 diabetes
  • Infertility
02

 Relation of obesity with non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus

Obesity is caused by the uptake of excess food, which result increase in the fatty acid in the adipose tissue as triacylglycerol and the uptake of large carbohydrate in comparison to the utilization of energy and the imbalance between fat and carbohydrate consumption increase the adipose tissue mass which in turn increase the blood glucose concentration leading to insulin resistance which is also seen/sign in non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus patient.
