It has been obsereved that Diabetes occurs in people suffering from obesity.There should be some correlation between the two.This may be due to some physioloic,genetic,immunologic or some other factor.As a student of biotechnology,i wanted to know the precise relation between them and the mechanism by which they affect each other.I would also be thankful if some good websites for exploration of this topic are suggested.

I feel the reason obese people are at a higher risk for diabetes mellitus, there are a couple forms of diabetes, not diabetes insipidus, is because an obese person takes in more than they can handle in terms of sugar. The pancreas cannot be constantly pumping out insulin without being taxed in some way, resulting in diabetes. That's why balance in diet is good and overeating, caused by a lot of reasons, is dangerous.
