The Onset of Diabetes Type 2 Is Gradual with a Specific Weight Gain
The development of diabetes type 2 is a gradual process but in most cases it is preceded by obesity or excess weight gain; particularly around the belly. It occurs in those adults between the ages of 50 and 60. It is frequently called onset-adult diabetes.
However, nowadays there is an increasing number of younger people developing diabetes; probably due to obesity or being overweight. By far the most common cause of diabetes is excessive weight gain, but it seems, not because of being overweight or obese per se.
Although the accepted consensus of the medical profession is that the cause of T2D is obesity or being overweight, how is it that even people with a normal BMI (body mass index) can contract the disease?
What research has shown is that diabetes type 2 happens when an individual exceeds his or her capacity to store fat. That is to say, the individual cannot tolerate the weight gain, more importantly they cannot bear the amount of subcutaneous fat. The tolerence is determined by a person’s genes.
Each person has a personal fat threshold, and if exceeded it will lead to fat depositing inside the important organs regulating energy storage: the liver and the pancreas. These facts have important implications in treating and overcoming type 2 diabetes.
