how is diabetes mellitus type 2 associated with obescity?

i would like to know the effect that extra fat has on the metabolism of glucose.

Because the extra fat is pushing on the pancreas making it hard to work, so you become resistant to the insulin. Then the insulin isn’t there to lower your sugar so it gets all outa whack.

    Read the above site for some insight on this.

    Obesity is not that much a factor in who gets type 2, but it does make a difference to those who get type 2 in how their medications work to aid them in maintaining low glucose numbers.
