Obesity, as well as Type 2 diabetes, are both major epidemics
around the world. So it is no secret the two are directly related. Type 2
diabetes seems like a contradiction since it is possible for an
overweight individual not to exhibit symptoms of diabetes, just as it is
possible for a slender, fit individual to develop the disease.
Regardless, it is a well documented fact most Type 2 diabetics are
overweight. In fact, statistics reveal 80 to 90 per cent of Type 2
diabetics are overweight or obese.
