This paper addresses diabetes caused by obesity in individuals. This is a major problem in the United States, and more individuals are acquiring diabetes caused by obesity. This issue has been addressed by researchers for decades, and there is no cure. Researchers have suggested that diabetes in overweight individuals are caused by thrifty genes, and studies have proposed that several fat molecules that have an association of inflammation might cause the obesity diabetes connection, even though other researchers do not agree with this assumption. Some researchers believe that the thrifty gene idea leads to diabetes caused from obesity. It is assumed to be caused from within the confines of the womb of the developing fetus. With this assumption, it causes a life of starvation for the fetus, which might be caused by the mother not eating properly when pregnant, and individuals not eating the correct nutrients every day, due to a life of poverty, and society as a whole. Other researchers assume that it is caused by dramatic events with in the cell of the human body due to environmental changes, such as industrialization of society with agricultural, and the use of chemicals and ferterlizers that make the cell mutate. It has also been addressed that the life style individuals lead such as are dietary habits, and social relations we have in today's society might be causing the diabetes obesity problem. Obesity is the leading cause of several diseases that kill. Such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels, and diabetes. Most individuals that have these diseases are overweight, and need to start a diet plan to increase their chances of survival. When diet plans fail, surgery could be done to eliminate the size of the stomach for high-risk individuals. However, the main issue that needs to be addressed is finding the initiator of diabetes in
