In recent years, a concerning trend has emerged, where diabetes and obesity are intermingling to create a new health crisis known as “diabesity.” This condition, characterized by the simultaneous presence of diabetes and obesity, poses a significant threat to public health. Bariatric surgeon Dr. Arush Sabharwal sheds light on the issue, stating that diabesity is a complex and multifactorial problem, where the combination of excess body weight and insulin resistance worsens both conditions.
According to nutritionist Kanak Agarwal, the key to tackling diabesity lies in adopting a comprehensive approach that addresses both the obesity and diabetes components. She stresses the importance of weight management through a balanced diet and regular physical activity. She suggests that a diet rich in whole grains, lean protein, fruits, and vegetables can help control blood sugar levels and promote weight loss.
Dr. Arush further highlights the role of bariatric surgery in managing diabesity. He explains that certain weight loss surgeries, such as gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy, can lead to significant improvements in both diabetes and obesity. These procedures not only help patients shed excess weight but also enhance insulin sensitivity, leading to better blood sugar control.
