1. “The amount of foods taken in require more insulin to adequately metabolize them, resulting in diabetes.”
2. “Excess body weight impairs the body’s release of insulin.”
3. “Thin people are less likely to become diabetic.”
4. “The physical inactivity associated with obesity causes a reduced ability by the body to produce insulin.”

2 -- Beta cells of the body release insulin. Their actions are hindered as the amount of adipose tissue in the body increases. While obesity is a risk factor for the development of diabetes, this does not meet the question posed by the patient. Inactivity is directly linked to obesity, but it does not present a direct tie to the production of insulin.
