is fat one of the causes of diabetes?
how does fat cause diabetes and what happen if it is not taken care of?
It is not known if fat causes diabetes. Fat/obesity can be linked to diabetes but correlation does not mean causation. There are so many factors that are attributed to diabetes. It is not good to be overweight, that being said look at it this way; some diabetics are overweight but not all over wight people are diabetic. Mary Tyler Moore is diabetic and she is by no means "fat". Diabetes is a killer but taken care of it can be managed just as high cholesterol or high blood pressure. Seeing a dietitian and following the American Diabetics Association’s diet is the best thing you can do. Also manage your stress level that can make sugar go up. Any infections or sickness can also affect one’s blood sugar. Take care!!
