response: Do you know of anyone with type 2 diabetes, the metabolic disorder that involves insulin resistance?
original_response: Yes, type 2 diabetes is a long term metabolic disorder. Hopefully they will not have that.
history: Not too long ago, I was severely overweight. Considered obese for my height. It's been a struggle but I have lost some of it. How high was your BMI? I know that it's generally above some point to be considered obese. Yes. It was a 35. I have it down to a 32 now. That is good. Obesity increases the likehood you will get diseases. Yes it does! I had gestational diabetes when I was pregnant with both of my kids, so it is very important that I control my weight. I have a somewhat healthier diet now, and I do yoga five times a week. Great! Children of obese parents are also at higher risk of becoming overweight. Oh really? I honestly did not know that. They are both pretty lean and healthy right now, but I will definitely need to work to instill healthy eating habits.
knowledge: Diabetes mellitus type 2 (also known as type 2 diabetes) is a long-term metabolic disorder that is characterized by high blood sugar, insulin resistance, and relative lack of insulin.
