Why losing the wrong fat can trigger diabetes

Scientists have found that damaged fat cells can become inflamed and lose their function, leading to their disappearance and disrupting the body's metabolism. This loss of healthy fat tissue can trigger diabetes, highlighting that the condition is not solely caused by excess fat. The body needs a certain amount of healthy fat to function properly, and losing it can have negative consequences. Diabetes can result from an imbalance of fat in the body, rather than just an excess of it.
