Controlling weight is one of the most effective and important strategies in total control of Diabetes.

Most of the Type II Diabetics are overweight. 

The excess weight in diabetics is due to deposition of fat inside the belly. This intraabdominal fat does more harm to the process of insulin prodution and secretion, it also increases amounts of cholesterol and othes intraabdominal fat as weller harmful fats circulating in a diabetics blood stream.

Excessive intraabdominal fat causes insulin resistance, that is our body and its cells are becoming resistant to actions of insulin and require more and more of it to do the same work of lowering blood glucose. Slowly and steadily pancreas have to secrete more and more insulin, when it can no longer keep up with the increased requirements of insulin, blood glucose starts rising and full blown Diabetes develops.

Decreasing body weight- decreases insulin resistance and insulin attains its earlier glory- it again becomes effective.
