In Diabetes, RQ (respiratory quotient) increases due to an increased reliance on carbohydrates as a source of energy. This results in more glucose being metabolized and a higher ratio of carbon dioxide produced to oxygen consumed during cellular respiration. Additionally, impaired insulin function in diabetes can lead to decreased utilization of fats for energy, further contributing to the higher RQ.
