Just like age, your weight plays a major role in increasing or decreasing your risk of diabetes.
When your weight is not within a healthy range, your body may become less responsive to insulin — making it harder to regulate blood sugar levels.
People who are overweight may face up to twice the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.
But even people who appear slim are not always safe — especially if their lifestyle is unhealthy or sedentary.

🧠 Why It Matters
There is a direct connection between weight and Type 2 diabetes.
Excess body fat — especially around the waist — can cause insulin resistance, which is often the first step toward diabetes.
Many people don’t regularly monitor their weight using Body Mass Index (BMI), and as a result, they miss early warning signs.
While BMI is useful, it’s not everything — your waist size, diet, and activity level also play a crucial role.
