Abstract
The rising prevalence of overweight and obesity among type 2 diabetic patients has become a major concern for healthcare professionals. Obesity and overweight are significant risk factors for the development of type 2 diabetes. In fact, it is estimated that over 90% of individuals with type 2 diabetes are either overweight or obese. Obesity and type 2 diabetes are becoming increasingly prevalent worldwide, leading the World Health Organization to label them as pandemics of the 21st century. In this article, we will explore the different factors that contribute to overweight/obesity among individuals with type 2 diabetes. Genetics and family history play a crucial role in the development of obesity. Lifestyle factors, such as poor dietary habits, physical inactivity, sedentary behavior and poor sleep quality and duration are also a significant risk factor for obesity.
