1. Decreased glucose transport into muscle cells
2. elevated hepatic glucose production
3. Increased fat breakdown - 27Why does obesity cause type 2 diabetes?Abdominal fat causes low-level chronic inflammation which can damage the body overtime without causing symptoms or signs. This plays a role in insulin resistance.
- 28Why does physical inactivty lead to type 2 diabetes?Muscles play a role in maintaining blood glucose levels and refill glycogen stores once used using glucose from the blood. Exercise helps absorb more glucose into muscles without the need for insulin. The more muscle mass, the more glucose it can burn to control blood glucose.

Hyperoxaluria (causing renal stones) and bile salt depletion (gallstones). - 61Re-feeding syndromeA life-threatening metabolic complication of re-feeding via any route after prolonged period of starvation. As the body turns to fat and protein metabolism in the starved state, there is a drop in circulating insulin. Also there is depletion of intracellular phosphate stores.
