THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN OBESITY AND DIABETE
Keywords:
obesity, diabetes mellitus, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, glucose metabolism, endocrine regulation.Abstract
This article discusses the relationship between diabetes mellitus and obesity, as well as their pathological conditions and pathophysiology. Obesity primarily leads to insulin resistance and contributes to the development of diabetes by creating a state of chronic inflammation.The complications of diabetes may be acute (developing rapidly) or chronic (developing over time), and they can affect many organs and body systems. Diabetes worsens chronic health problems such as obesity, high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol levels, and lack of regular physical activity. In patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, obesity and increased body weight are commonly observed. This condition develops due to impaired glucose metabolism, insufficient insulin production, and imbalances in the functioning of the endocrine system.
