it is also one of the important factors for increasing the risk for a heart attack and stroke. It also impairs blood flow to the legs, increasing the risk of diabetic foot.

Obesity is perpendicularly associated with an increased risk of developing DM2 and it helps in accelerating insulin resistance. When people develop insulin resistance, glucose builds up in the blood instead of being absorbed by the cells that lead to type 2 diabetes or prediabetes.

Being overweight with increased abdominal fat or being obese contributes about 80 to 90 percent of all DM2 development. Though not all who are obese develop DM2, obesity contributes more to developing diabetes mellitus as compared to other factors. Additional contributing factors are genetics, age and unhealthy lifestyle.
