I think that is caused by the diabetes, not the other way around. Insulin is the fat storage hormone and once you become insulin resistant the body is forced to make too much insulin so the excess insulin does what it is supposed to do, it forces the fat into the cells for storage.
There are plenty of doctors on YouTube explaining this but they are not in tune with the current dogma of low fat that we have been stuck with for 60 years. Don't expect big pharma to recommend a diet change to solve your diabetes because they sell insulin. They get a super high price that Trump had forced down then Joe undid that.
Fructose can not be used by the body and can only be metabolized by the liver and as a by-product deposits fat in the liver. Constant over consumption of fructose, like over consumption of alcohol, is well documented to cause fatty liver. Fructose is, obviously, a major component of high-fructose corn syrup used in most sodas and processed food, it is also half of the table sugar, sucrose, molecule and is the primary sugar in fruit juice.
The typical American consumes extraordinary volumes of fructose without the fiber that typically accompanies it in nature. Without the fiber not only is there not the natural limits on consumption from fiber as a filler, but the body also uses fiber to carry out toxins from the liver.
Fatty liver and organ cavity fat is not just a side effect of being fat, it is a direct and very unhealthy consequence of the sugar consumption that makes us fat. Normal weight people can have a lot of fat around their organs and they end up with the same health problems as obese people. Obese people can have relatively little organ cavity fat and be quite healthy. The true problem is the organ fat or what it is symptomatic of.
