Diabetes, Obesity And Associated Illnesses Prevention& Management Introduction Overall excess of fat, Usually defined by the body mass index (B.M.I), is associated with metabolic (e.g., Glucose intolerance (Border line Diabetes), Type-2 diabetes mellitus [T2DM], High Cholesterol) and Dr. Vidyut Shah non-metabolic disorders (e.g.,tumours, polycystic overy syndrome (PCOS), non-alcoholic fat liver disease[nafld], glomerulopathy, bone fragility, etc.). However, more than its total amount, the distribution of fat tissue throughout the body is a better predictor of the risk of those disorders. Fat accumulation in the abdominal area is associated with increased risk of developing metabolic and non-metabolic problems. Insulin resistance is one of the main culprits in the association between obesity, particularly visceral, and metabolic as well as non-metabolic diseases. WHAT IS OBESITY? Weight that is higher than what is considered as a healthy weight for a given height is described as overweight or obese. BMI is used as a screening tool for overweight or obesity. DIABESITY Obasity, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome and Diabetes Mellitus Type-2 have reached epidemic proportions. Whereas the genetic factors are still poorly understood,numerous studies have shown that obesity(in particular,central obesity),physical inactivity,a high-fat diet,and a diet rich in saturated fatty acids escalate the risk of diabetes. Abdominal Obesity (i.e., spare tire syndrome ) High Cholesterol (low high density lipoprotein [HDL], high low density lipoprotein [LDL] and high triglycerides) High blood pressure High blood sugar (fasting above 100 mg/dl,glycated haemoglobin[hb1ac] above5.6) Systemic inflammation A tendency to form blood clot...8
Diabetes, Obesity And Associated Illnesses Prevention& Management PREVALENCE In India, the prevalence of obesity is increasing at a rapid pace. Factors largely responsible for this include increase in energy intake owing to increased purchasing power and availability of high fat, energy-dense foods, along with reduction in the energy expenditure consequent to urbanization. COMPLICATIONS Diabesity is a modern epidemic, which indicates the co-existence of both diabetes and obesity. Linked by various pathophysiological mechanisms, revolving around insulin resistance and elevated levels of circulating insulin,diabesity has important diagnostic and therapeutic implication. Examples of complications attributed to diabesity include cardiovascular diseases(cvd),renal diseases and arthritis. The liver is an important organ as a target for ectopic fat accumulation in obesity. MANAGEMENT Management strategies should be geared towards achieving Glucose control, while simultaneously reaching optimal weight in diabesity. Appropriate methods of management, using dietary therapy, physical activity, Metformin, SGLT-2 inhibitors,newer insulin analogues and GLP-1 analogues,must be judiciously considered.obesity surgery is an option when these measures fail and the person is having morbid obesity. CONCLUSION Dibetes type-2 is increasingly being identified among young people and even children. It constitutes a major health problem in both developed and developing countries, and with obesity, it is becoming one of the largest challenges to health care systems worldwide. Therefore, any measures that could prevent or delay the development of central adiposity and in turn diabetes are urgently needed....9
