Doctors and researchers have found that obesity and diabetes are connected. Persons who are obese are at high risk for developing Type 2 diabetes (also known as insulin-resistant or adult-onset diabetes), particularly if a close family member is affected with diabetes.
For example, the incidence of type 2 diabetes has increased rapidly in teens, with obesity present in virtually all cases. In addition, obese children are more likely to be obese as adults. Thus, obesity puts a child's health at lifelong higher risk.
