Apple shaped and type 2 diabetes
People who are obese are more likely to develop type 2 diabetes. Being obese means having such a high quantity of body fat that your health may be in danger. If you are obese, you are more likely to develop type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and triglycerides, coronary artery disease, stroke, and sleep apnea, amongst other conditions. Your risk for these conditions is reduced, if you lose weight.
The area that you carry body fat is important. If fat builds up mostly around your stomach (sometimes called apple-shaped), you are at greater risk for type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and coronary artery disease than people who are lean or people with fat around the hips (sometimes called pear-shaped).
