As you may wonder fourth leading cause of death in the world is diabetes according to the International Diabetes Federation. The number of people diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes has increased from 30 million to 246 over the last 2 decades. By 2025 it expected to go to 380 million if something is not done.

And Obesity is the link that is currently the culprit. Obesity leads to insulin resistance which causes the pancreas to produce more insulin. If the pancreas cannot keep up then individuals develop diabetes. This development leads to increased risk of cardiovascular diseases in diabetics. Around 80% of diabetics die of some type of cardio disease complications. Couple this with the obesity diabetics can suffer from, the risk of CVD’s is even greater.

If you have a high waist circumference and experience elevated blood glucose levels then you’re on your way to developing diabetes. With this development comes the risk of many other factors such as cardiovascular disease or CVD’s. Studies of 1338 healthy middle-aged persons across Europe determined cardiovascular risks are elevated dramatically based on established risk factors such as high blood pressure, insulin resistance and high waist circumference. It was found that insulin resistance relates to high risk scores but it is not the only factor connecting diabetes with CVD’s. Getting exercise is one of the most important factors when dealing with diabetes and CVD’s. Any amount of exercise helps with the heart and insulin resistance even if the patient remains overweight according to most doctors. Total activity is the key to getting ahead of the curve with weight, diabetes and cardiovascular health.
