Many studies and numerous clinical cases have confirmed that obesity is an independent risk factor for diabetes, and that a person who is chronically obese has a much higher risk of developing diabetes than a person of normal weight. The eighth edition of the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) Global Diabetes Map, published in 2017, showed that about 425 million people between the ages of 20 and 79 had diabetes worldwide. billion, of which about 212.4 million were unaware that they had diabetes, accounting for about half of the total number of people with diabetes. And most of them are developing countries (China, India, etc.). Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disease, and its symptoms are progressively worse over time. Many people feel health problems only after they have had diabetes for several years and remember to go to the hospital for checkups, but by that time they are likely to have developed diabetes complications and the disease is relatively much more serious, making treatment much more difficult. Many major diseases have a developmental process, if found early treatment will be easier, and can even be prevented in advance, so we should try to go to medical checkups on time, especially for obese people with a high incidence of diabetes. If you find yourself really suffering from diabetes, don’t give up on yourself, as long as you can control your blood sugar, diabetes is not very scary, and now obese type 2 diabetes can also be treated through weight loss metabolic surgery, so that the impact of diabetes on yourself is reduced to a minimum.
