Diabetes: Diabesity is basically the range of problem starting from obesity leading to insulin resistance and people developing metabolic syndrome ( pre diabetes with raised cholesterol ) and finally diabetes. Studies have shown that these conditions share similar underlying causes and can be seen as progression from one stage to next so this is real ,they require the same treatment and are preventable.

It's "real": in the sense that many Type II diabetics are obese and/or start with obesity before their sugars show abnormalities...... Hope this is helpful Dr Z
