Top 10 health hazards of obesity - Rediff Getahead

Top 10 health hazards of obesity - Rediff Getahead: "Type 2 Diabetes is a state where there is an insulin resistance in the body leading to high insulin and high glucose levels in the blood, due to obesity problems it is estimated that at present 90% of diabetic cases are obese. In a normal state the pancreas release insulin to control the sugar levels in the body, but as we become overweight the demand for insulin increases and ultimately the pancreas cells burn out and cannot keep up the demand, in which case the sugars become resistant to the insulin and therefore there is a diabetic like state termed as Type 2 Diabetes. It is said that with just 15% weight loss this diabetes can be eliminated all together."
