Diabetes and Obesity are both tied in with problems with Insulin which is a hormone that helps sugar (glucose) enter cells, where it is used for energy. When there is resistance to Insulin helping the glucose entering cells, that results in uncontrolled high blood sugar, and then they say you have diabetes.

This out of control blood sugar (diabetes type 2) can silently unbeknown to you, cause great irreversible damage to your body.

Insulin is also the hormone that guides unabsorbed glucose to become body fat. If there is an excess of unabsorbed glucose, insulin turns it into extreme amounts of body fat, called obesity.

Obesity and Diabetes have an inner connection.

Each feeds or expands the other as a result of Insulin levels interacting.

Type one diabetes and a small percentage of type two have pancreas turning out too little Insulin requiring injectable insulin. We do not write about these.

Over 85% have type 2 that is part of Insulin resistance. Ample insulin but cell resistance to absorbing glucose despite many time normal insulin production. If Cell resistance becomes extreme injectable insulin may be necessarily added to help bring sugar levels down.

This is the group of diabetics this newspaper is primarily about and are the type 2 Diabetes we report and research.

The body's cell tissues become resistant to insulin and as a result your body's tissues cannot take in sugar normally, thus causing blood sugar to rise.

Because your tissues cannot respond properly to even very high insulin, your blood sugar has risen gradually over several years to what is now dangerous unsafe levels.

These uncontrolled high blood sugar levels over time, may damage blood circulation and nerves throughout the body.

Thus silently increasing greatly your risk of Diabetic "complications," namely eye, heart, blood vessel, nerve, and kidney disease and premature death from connected strokes and heart disease.
