Today it is recognized as a disease associated with high morbidity and mortality, which has favored weight gain and in turn excess body weight and obesity is one of the most common metabolic complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus. In recent years there has been an increase in two pathologies that are closely related, obesity and diabetes mellitus type 2, these circumstances have given rise to the term “diabesity”. The close relationship, coexistence and pathophysiological similarities between obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus led to the creation and study of this complex, which is currently considered the new disease of the 21st century. Furthermore, the combination of these two entities leads to significant injuries to the liver tissue, skeletal muscle and cardiovascular system, which is why a comprehensive approach focusing on healthy lifestyles is essential.
