The answer is a big NO ❌

Obesity is a leading cause of type-2 diabetes, but besides that there are many other causes as well-

• Family history & genes
• Living a sedentary lifestyle
• Having a bad diet
• Excess intake of alcohol
• Some viral Or bacterial infections
• Chemical toxins in food
• Autoimmune reactions
• Pancreatitis & other pancreas issues
• PCOS & PCOD
• Presence of other lifestyle diseases
• Taking excess steroids
• Some specific health conditions like- Cushing's syndrome
And many more

So the bottom line is that; a person with obesity has higher chances of developing diabetes, but not all diabetics are obese or overweight. 🧐

Also lifestyle & dietary modifications are crucial parts of diabetes management, meaning if a diabetic looks healthy & toned they are doing a great job!! 💡

And they deserve a pat on their back🫂, not such criticism 👋
