Dna Link Between Diabetes And Obesity

A Dna Link Between Diabetes And Obesity


There is no known reason for what causes diabetes. There are certainly risk factors that 
make the likelihood of you being diagnosed with the disease higher. One of the only risk factors that you have control over is your weight. If you are obese, the single best thing 
you can do for your health and the prevention of diabetes is to lose weight. 
Even in small increments, when you shed pounds you are increasing your health benefits.

These may be easier said than done. There are new studies that are now showing that there is a genetic factor or mutation for people who are obese and have diabetes. 


This genetic malfunction affects how the bodies use energy and insulin – two key elements in 
the functioning of your body and the cause of diabetes and obesity.

The studies also state that this is not a cause and effect case. If you carry this defective gene you are not guaranteed to be obese or have diabetes. But the link is there and it can 

be prevented. You may have to work harder at it than others to maintain a healthy body weight and put off diabetes but it can be done. Discuss with your doctor options and 
ways to prevent or put-off the onset of diabetes.


The gene that researchers have discovered as a precursor to diabetes has been found in young children. It is scary to know that children in their preschool years are being diagnosed with obesity and type 2 diabetes due to genetics. But parents can reduce or prevent these things from happening by giving their children healthy lifestyle choices. 


Now that a DNA link has been found, the research can focus on finding a way to fix or prevent this from happening at some point in the future.
