: Why do people say that obesity leads to diabetes, But all diabetic people I know are really thin?

There are 2 types of diabetes:
Type 1 Diabetes is caused by your pancreas either not producing insulin or nor not enough insulin. This is the diabetes people are born with. It’s typically a result of your immune system attacking the insulin producing cells in your pancreas.
Type 2 Diabetes is known as adult onset diabetes which can be a result of obesity. It is caused by your cells becoming resistant to insulin.
Insulin is a hormone in your body that allows sugar to enter your cells. Your cells need sugar to function, and in both cases sugar is trapped in your bloodstream so your cells can’t get the fuel it needs. Are all the people you know diagnosed with type 1 diabetes?
