\u201cDiabesity\u201d, a term used to describe the interplay between obesity and type-2 diabetes, is likely to be the biggest epidemic in human history, experts say. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Worldwide, obesity has tripled in the last 50 years with more than 650 million people considered obese. Similarly, diabetes currently affects 422 million people with 1,5 million deaths attributed to the chronic condition annually. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This World Diabetes Day (Tuesday 14 November), the spotlight is placed on the ever-increasing burden of diabesity and limited healthcare resources highlights the need for the prioritisation of actionable goals to prevent and manage it better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fadhl Solomon, CVS product manager for Pharma Dynamics, says the bidirectional relationship between obesity and type-2 diabetes means that each can contribute to the development and exacerbation of the other. It does so in the following ways: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Obesity leading to type 2 diabetes: <\/b>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n .<\/span> Obesity is often characterised by an excess accumulation of fat, especially in the abdominal region. This excess fat can lead to a condition called insulin resistance, where the body\u2019s cells don\u2019t respond effectively to insulin, a hormone that regulates blood sugar. As a result, the pancreas produces more insulin to compensate for increasing blood glucose levels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \n .<\/span> To meet the increased demand for insulin, the beta cells in the pancreas \u2013 which produce insulin \u2013 may become overworked and stressed. Over time, they may not be able to produce enough insulin to maintain normal blood sugar levels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \n .<\/span> Insulin resistance, coupled with insufficient insulin production, results in elevated blood sugar levels. If these high blood sugar levels persist, it can lead to the development of type-2 diabetes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \n Type-2 diabetes leading to obesity: <\/b>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n .<\/span> High blood-sugar levels associated with uncontrolled type-2 diabetes can lead to increased appetite and thirst. People with diabetes may consume more calories, which can contribute to weight gain and obesity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \n .<\/span> Some medication, particularly insulin and certain oral medications, can lead to weight gain as a side effect. This can further exacerbate obesity in individuals with diabetes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \n .<\/span> Uncontrolled diabetes can lead to symptoms, such as fatigue, which may reduce a person\u2019s physical activity levels. Inactivity can contribute to weight gain and obesity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Solomon says it\u2019s important to note that not all individuals with obesity necessarily develop type 2 diabetes, and not all individuals with type 2 diabetes are obese. However, obesity is a significant risk factor for developing type-2 diabetes and losing weight through lifestyle changes, such as a healthier diet and increased physical activity, can help improve insulin sensitivity and manage blood-sugar levels in those with diabetes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEarly detection and intervention are crucial in preventing and managing diabetes,\u201d he pointed out. \u201cNot taking action is likely to result in sufferers becoming progressively ill and debilitated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDiabetes, especially type 2, often develops gradually and may not present noticeable symptoms in its early stages. If uncontrolled, diabetes can lead to a variety of serious health complications, such as heart disease, kidney disease, nerve damage and vision problems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Regular screenings can detect the condition before it becomes more advanced, allowing for early intervention.\u201d Solomon says different types of diabetes require different management approaches. \u201cA diabetes screening can help healthcare providers determine the type and severity of diabetes in a patient, allowing for personalised treatment plans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cScreenings typically involve simple blood tests to measure blood glucose (sugar) levels and can be done at most pharmacy clinics. The frequency of screenings should be discussed with a healthcare provider, and it may vary depending on individual risk factors and age. Overall, diabetes screenings play a crucial role in maintaining public health and the well-being of individuals at risk of or living with diabetes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019s important to recognise that both obesity and type 2 diabetes are preventable and manageable conditions.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n In the spirit of Diabetes Month Solomon encourages everyone over the age of 45 to go for a diabetes screening. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cDiabesity\u201d, a term used to describe the interplay between obesity and type-2 diabetes, is likely to be the biggest epidemic in
