Abstract
Today, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and sarcopenia (SA) are becoming increasingly common diseases. The question of whether the onset of type 2 diabetes increases the risk of developing CA or vice versa has long been under study. Both conditions are associated with negative changes in the state of skeletal muscles, which in turn can lead to impaired physical function, decreased quality of life, and increased mortality risk. Improper nutrition can exacerbate both type 2 diabetes and SA. T2DM and SA are linked by a vicious circle of events that intensify and worsen each other. Muscle insulin resistance appears to be a pathophysiological link between type 2 diabetes and CA. [1].
