The pancreas cannot be constantly pumping out insulin without being taxed in some way, resulting in diabetes. That's why balance in diet is good and overeating, caused by a lot of reasons, is dangerous.

But you obesity causes an imbalance in sugar intake, normal people have a faster metabolic rate than some obese people. Other people get it because there obesity is cause by excessive eating those are mainly the ones that get diabetes. Check the statistics kids get it cause they over eat, simple too much food, too much for the pancreas to take in and it damages its balance.

Some may be glucose intolerant. this is probably due to several factors: overweight people tend to eat unbalanced diets-too many carbs, etc. Many overweight people lead sedentary lives.
