Diabetes and obesity are frequently linked as co-occurring health conditions, often referred to as 'twin epidemics' [1] and sharing common risk factors such as chronic stress [2], sleep deprivation {fact:2, 3, 8, 9}, and poor nutrition [3]. They are also both recognized as significant medical conditions contributing to cardiovascular disease {fact:6, 7, 10}.
