Abstract
The global obesity epidemic has fuelled a global epidemic of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Diabesity, the frequent combination of obesity with T2D, represents one of the biggest health threats. Underlying this scourge for humanity is a complex array of contributors, including chronic caloric over-consumption, sedentary lifestyle, sleep deprivation, thermo-neutral environments and eating-related behaviour. Regarding the management of diabesity, lifestyle modification can be effective, although often difficult to sustain over longer durations. Bariatric surgery is an excellent treatment option for diabesity, although its cost precludes widespread application. Activation of brown adipose tissue (a means of enhancing metabolism through converting fat into heat) represents a promising novel preventive and management future strategy. Finally, cultural and behavioural changes regarding calorie consumption and physical activity are important.
