Now obesity has become a worldwide disease, in 2014 the British “Lancet” magazine survey shows: rich countries and poor countries are not spared, the global 7 billion people have 2.1 billion obese people. China’s overweight population of about 341 million overweight and obese people. And in 2015, China has about 36% of overweight and obese people. That means there are at least 468 million Chinese people who are at an unhealthy weight.
The 2015 survey found that there are about 114 million diabetics in China, which means that 1/3 of the world’s diabetics are Chinese. Over 90% of that many diabetics are type 2 diabetics. A conservative estimate is that 70 million people are obesity-induced type 2 diabetics.
70 million people is about the population of Canada, Germany, and Australia combined. What’s even more frightening is that most people don’t even realize that obesity is to blame, and that people who are obese in the center are more likely to develop metabolic diseases such as diabetes.
When damage to the pancreas causes an oversupply of insulin, abnormalities in blood sugar trigger diabetes. However, the insulin provided by itself is still much higher than the normal level of normal people. Diabetes is naturally cured by losing weight in time.
If the pancreas is damaged, but the pancreatic beta cells are ≥ 1/2 of the normal value, it is also possible to effectively treat diabetes by surgically reconstructing the digestive tract. However, the biggest disadvantage of this surgery is that it makes people lose weight.
The root cause of treating the symptoms but not the root cause is that many people think obesity is not a disease. But many chronic diseases caused by obesity are so mischievous that any medicine taken when you are fat can only barely control the condition. But the time to lose weight, and then ready to adjust but found that the disease is not.
Taking medication is better than losing weight only for patients with type 2 diabetes caused by obesity, at the same time, during the period of weight loss also need to maintain stable blood sugar through medication. While type 1 diabetes, diabetes patients with severely impaired insulin or a thin body still need to treat their diabetes through conservative methods.
