There are two different things people mean by "type-one" Diabetes. Sometimes they mean "juvenile (genetic) diabetes" (which is insulin-dependent). Other times they mean insulin-dependent diabetes in general, including type-two diabetes that has deteriorated until insulin injections are required.

In the second case, yes, it's possible for obesity to lead to insulin resistance which leads to diabetes, which in turn deteriorates until insulin is absolutely required. In the first case, no, juvenile diabetes appears in children from genetic causes.

The link between physical activity and diabetes?

A lack of physical activty may lead to obesity. Obesity is a high risk factor for developing Type 2 diabetes.


How does obesity contribute to the development of diabetes?

Obesity can lead to the development of diabetes by causing insulin resistance, where the body's cells do not respond properly to insulin. This can result in high blood sugar levels, which can eventually lead to the onset of type 2 diabetes.


What is obesity AND diabetes?

Obesity increases one's chances of having type 2 diabetes. Obesity can lead to insulin resistance, a hormone that is necessary for blood sugar management. When the body develops insulin resistance, sugar absorption in the blood is reduced or absent, resulting in elevated blood sugar levels. Type 2 diabetes can be prevented or delayed by losing merely 5 to 7% of your body weight.

What causes type 2 diabetes?

Refined (processed) carbohydrates are a major cause of weight gain, obesity, many diet related diseases, and diabetes type 2.There will be a predisposition if you have obesity and/or a family history of diabetes. Many people who develop diabetes type 2 have both of these risk factors. However, it is possible to develop diabetes type 2 having only one of them, and it is possible (though rare) to develop it without having either of them.This is one possible progression:In susceptible individuals, eating refined (processed) carbohydrates can lead toWeigh gain or obesity which leads toInsulin resistance which leads toPre-diabetes which leads toDiabetes type 2.Not all people who develop diabetes type 2 are obese or even overweight. As already stated there may simply be a family history of diabetes type 2 or carbohydrate sensitivity.Causes of all types of diabetes are unknown, thought to be autoimmune disease. But there are still similarities seen between type 2's including obesity that put one at a higher risk, but obesity does not necessarily cause type 2 diabetes.

How do you get dieabeates?

Type 1 Diabetes is acquired through genetics, and you can NOT get it from too much sugar intake. Type 2 Diabetes can also be through genetics, or it can be from too much sugar intake/obesity. Type 1 Diabetes is NOT acquired through diet/obesity/sugar. It is completely unavoidable.
