Diabetes and obesity are global epidemics and the prevalence of both has increased in parallel. The relationship between obesity and diabetes is clear as nearly 90% of people with diabetes have obesity. Multiple factors contribute to obesity and include dietary, environmental and iatrogenic causes all of which can affect metabolism directly and independently of caloric intake alone. Studies focused on the pathophysiology of the relationship between diabetes and obesity has led to innovations in diabetes care with a focus on obesity.
