Conditions
Diabesity
The close link between obesity and type 2 diabetes, where losing weight is key to controlling blood sugar.
PLAIN ENGLISH
Patient-Friendly Explanation
A term that combines diabetes and obesity to describe how closely the two conditions are linked. Carrying excess weight makes the body more resistant to insulin, which raises blood sugar and can lead to type 2 diabetes.
MEDICAL
Clinical Definition
A portmanteau describing the tight pathophysiological and epidemiological link between obesity and type 2 diabetes. Excess adiposity, particularly visceral fat, drives insulin resistance and beta-cell dysfunction, and the two conditions share common management strategies, with weight loss a cornerstone of glycaemic control.
KEY INSIGHT
Why It Matters
Because diabetes and obesity fuel each other, treating weight is one of the most effective ways to improve or even reverse type 2 diabetes. Dr. Joseph Wang can tailor a plan that targets both your weight and your blood sugar together.
