There is a significant chance of having type 2 diabetes in obese individuals, which is often classified as adult-onset diabetes or insulin-resistant. This is a disorder when the amount of glucose in the blood is consistently high. In obese people, fat tissue cells could process more calories than they can consume. An inflammation activates a protein called cytokinesis caused by the tension in these cells by consuming too many nutrients. Cytokines, therefore, block insulin receptor signals, allowing the cells to become immune to insulin eventually. Insulin encourages glucose to be used by the cells for nutrition. Your body will be unable to turn the glucose into energy because your cells are immune to insulin, and you wind up with a consistently elevated blood glucose level.
