Diabetes is not inevitable fate of people with obesity, but its potential is greater for them

Although the link between obesity and diabetes are familiar but many of the questions was and still is going on in the minds of people infected with the disease on the mystery of the relationship between diabetes and obesity, Flaikhvy on one of the high incidence of diabetes in the UK to more than 35% in addition to a rise growing rate of obesity among children and young people in the UK, we have our inquiries and we raised this issue for discussion with the consultant, Dr. Faraj soldier of diabetes mellitus and endocrine status d. Sulaiman Al Habib Medical .....

Injury obese diabetic progressive ..
Are all the different ages of obese people at risk of diabetes?

Can not say that this assumption is true in fact, as is known, there are two types of diabetes is usually first affects the young and not due to an increase of weight occurs, and the second is most commonly exposed to the middle-aged and older people and increase the severity and potential weight gain occurs at a young age, and injury the second type is usually gradual and without obvious symptoms, and diabetes occurs if the simultaneous occurrence of obesity with a genetic predisposition to diabetes.

Infection rate is not 100% Never!!
But there is a common impression that everyone who is obese is diabetes ... How much true is this?

Optimal correction to this argument is that anyone who is obese has large gallery for diabetes from his peers from non-obese, which is one of Maothbtaath studies showing that those who are obese at the age of eighteen become more susceptible to type II diabetes later in life, points out that the very obese at the age of 18 years and over who have a body mass index have at 35, the odds were 70.3% for men and 74.4% for women, body mass index is a measure of the relationship between body weight and height used to determine whether a person has an increase in weight or obese, or suffering from weight loss, and must realize the gravity of the increased risk of diabetes among young people who are overweight is causing concern because they may develop the disease at an early age, and this in turn, increases the risk of diabetes complications such as heart disease and kidney failure.

Body mass index is Faisal ..
How can calculate the ideal weight for the individual and considered obese or not?

Mediated by obesity can be measured by measuring the index (BMI) or body mass index which is calculated by dividing weight kilogram by the square of height in meters, for example, for an adult weighing 70 kilograms and 185 centimeters long, the body mass index 70 / ² 1.85 = 20, People who have a BMI their body between 25 to 30 persons can be considered overweight and those who have the cursor 30 while they are obese is less than 20 they are underweight.

The secret of caloric consumption in excess ..
Can you explain to us a mechanism the relationship between weight gain and diabetes?

When consumed a non-diabetic excess calories and increases the weight of his body becomes resistant to the effect of insulin, a hormone that leads to blood sugar and urges the liver cells to convert calories into storable form, and when people become insulin resistant cells in the final analysis are not sensitive to the impact of insulin and have the body (through the pancreas) to produce more and more and more of the hormone to maintain normal levels of sugar in the blood, with the increasing duration and severity of obesity, reduced insulin sensitivity is greater, may also be accompanied by an imbalance in the fat and hypertension (syndrome of representation food).

Genetics within reason .. And not all
What about the genetic causes of obesity in diabetes?

The insulin resistance is a special feature of obesity and type II diabetes and is receiving in two cases, the first case as a result of absorption of excess calories, while it occurs in the second case because the diabetic patient inherits a gene or group of genes that generate resistance to insulin.

The importance of the analysis to avoid the shock of surprise!!
What are the symptoms of diabetes for the obese?

Are the same The first symptoms of diabetes such as frequent urination, hunger, thirst, dry mouth, loss of energy, sudden weight loss and blurred vision "look cluttered," but that the symptoms of Type II diabetes and private Balbdina is less severe for type I diabetes, it is very important to say that many of the patients did not feel any of these symptoms, or he may have felt for long periods, get used to it, to be surprised in some patients during routine analysis that the proportion of sugar has a high and that they are infected without their knowledge, so I would advise every person who has attained the age of forty-fifth regular work routine screening to detect diabetes.
