Hi

Yes, generally obese is caused by over eating of high foods, carbs, starches & sugars, low in protein & high in fat. This will increase in abdominal fat is linked to glucose intolerance. Fat cells release a novel protein called pigment epithelium- derived factor (PEDF), when PEDF is released into the bloodstream, the pancreas then produces more insulin or stopping producing insulin & leads to type 2 diabetes.
