Treating diabetes and prediabetes by focusing on obesity management

Abstract: Obesity is associated with an increased risk of developing insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In obesity, the adipose cell releases non-esterified free fatty acids, hormones, adipocytokines, and other substances that are involved in insulin resistance. Under normal conditions, the pancreatic islet β cells increase production of insulin sufficiently to maintain normal blood glucose concentrations despite insulin resistance. However, in genetically predisposed patients, the β cells eventuall… Show more

“…Meaningful weight loss has historically been more difficult to achieve among patients with type 2 diabetes than among those without diabetes (11,12,13). Nevertheless, current American Diabetes Association treatment guidelines recommend that individuals with type 2 diabetes achieve modest weight loss (5–7%) to improve glycemic control and reduce cardiovascular risk (25).…”

“…Weight loss of as little as 5% can significantly improve glycemic control, and may have beneficial effects on weight‐related comorbid conditions as well (9,10). Unfortunately, meaningful weight loss has historically been more difficult to achieve among individuals with diabetes than among nondiabetic populations (11,12,13).…”

“…In fact, weight loss of 5% or more has been linked to improvements in glycemic control, blood pressure, lipids, and quality of life (Pi-Sunyer, 2005;Khaodhiar et al, 2009). The fact that PAE effectively caused dose-related weight loss in the treated rats and reduced the risk of atherogenesis and coronary artery disease also highlights the anti-obesity, antihyperlipidemic and cardioprotective potentials of PAE.…”

“…Prediabetes raises short term absolute risk of T2DM five to six fold. The development of T2DM can be delayed or sometimes prevented in obese individuals on losing weight [5]. According to American Diabetes Association (ADA), prediabetes is defined as impaired fasting glucose (IFG) ([100 mg/dl) but \126 mg/dl and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) ([140 mg/dl) but \200 mg/dl [6].…”
