i would like to know the effect that extra fat has on the metabolism of glucose.

Because the extra fat is pushing on the pancreas making it hard to work, so you become resistant to the insulin. Then the insulin isn’t there to lower your sugar so it gets all outa whack.

90% of type-2 diabetes cases develop after significant fat is gained in the omentum located in the abdomen. This creates insulin resistance effectively ‘gumming-up’ pores in body cells preventing sugar from being absorbed from the blood. As blood sugars rise the pancreas works harder by making more insulin. Years of stress and overwork causes the pancreas to fail prematurely leading to insulin fatigue and diabetes.
