Diabetes can haunt any person who does not care about his diet. Well, a new study has found that the highest risk of diabetes overshadow women who are overweight.
According to the researchers, because women who are overweight and often skip breakfast from time to time will experience an acute increase in insulin resistance quickly. Condition that increases their risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
To prove it, the researcher Elizabeth Thomas, MD, who is also an expert in endocrinology from the University of Colorado School of Medicine, Aurora and his colleagues looked at nine women who did not have diabetes, with an average age of 29 years, who are overweight or obese .
There are participants who were asked to breakfast and there are also participants who are not allowed to have breakfast on their first visit to the lab. On the second visit, this applies vice versa. However, when entering the lunch hour, participants were given a whole lunch with the same menu and standardized. According to the researchers, because women who are overweight and often skip breakfast from time to time will experience an acute increase in insulin resistance quickly. Condition that increases their risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Participants' blood samples were taken every 30 minutes or so after lunch (for three hours) to check the levels of insulin and glucose in the blood.
Then from there, researchers can ensure that the insulin and glucose levels after lunch participants will be higher in the day when they skip breakfast than when participants ate breakfast. Differences in insulin and glucose levels between the two conditions is also quite significant.
"Levels of insulin and glucose is rising it indicates the existence of acute insulin resistance due to skip breakfast," concluded Thomas as reported ZeeNews, Tuesday (18/06/2013).
The new study just presented at the Endocrine Society `s 95th Annual Meeting in San Francisco was funded by the Endocrine Fellows Foundation in Washington, DC, National Institutes of Health and the Colorado Nutrition Obesity Research Center.info
