Obesity: Obesity. People are eating more and exercising less. As a result they are getting obese which causes diabetes. Yes it's becoming a growing world problem. * as the world becomes more civilized it seems to become more sedative which is horrible for diabetes and your overall health. Be aware of this and exercise daily. **.
