Can obesity cause type 2 diabetes?
My father recently got diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, and his doctor emphasized his weight as a major factor. I'm also overweight and worried. Can obesity truly cause Type 2 diabetes?

Haan beta, heavy weight is the main reason for sugar disease. When body gets too heavy, it cannot process sweet things properly. Try to walk every day and avoid sweets.

Yes, obesity makes your body resistant to insulin. A very simple solution is to practice portion control; eat two chapatis instead of three, and avoid eating heavy meals late at night.

I totally get it, losing weight is so hard and hearing that it causes diabetes just adds to the stress. But even small changes, like cutting out soft drinks and walking a bit, can really help prevent it.

Look, being overweight is a direct invite to diabetes. Stop taking it lightly. Cut the sugar, walk daily, and get your HbA1c tested before it becomes a lifelong headache.
