Obesity and type 2 diabetes are not just linked by lifestyle. The real connection lies in what happens inside our fat cells, liver, muscles, hormones, and even our gut.

Diabetes doesn’t start the day sugars rise. It begins years earlier, silently.
Understanding this process is the first step in reversing it.
I was glad to be invited to write this piece for World Diabetes Day. Awareness is one of the strongest tools we have in preventing diabetes, and I hope this article helps more people understand how early the process begins — and how much can be reversed with timely action.
