Diabetes and obesity are correlated because they are both symptoms of metabolic syndrome. Increased insulin levels over a long period of time leads to disregulation of many metabolic health markers.
Not all people get all symptoms… The skinny fat people with diabetes, for instance.
The body can only store 2-5g of glucose at a time, only circulating in the blood. The rest gets stored as fat. The body doesn’t store glucose. Whenever you eat sugar, carbs, alcohol, the body pumps out insulin to regulate blood sugar levels. A diet that requires the body to constantly produce insulin causes the entire system to become less sensitive to insulin over time.
So yes, reducing insulin levels allows the body to work better over time. Reduce carbs, reduce alcohol, reduce sugar. The more time you spend between carbohydrates the more your body can self regulate.
Increasing muscle mass can help consume excess glucose, but diet is the main factor
