The goal of this observational study is to compare glycemic control and irisin levels in subjects with diabetes mellitus type 2 with sarcopenic obesity vs non-sarcopenic obesity.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Is glycemic control worse in diabetic patients with sarcopenic obesity? Are irisin levels higher in patients with non-sarcopenic obesity?
Participants will be asked to:
* Fill in three questionaries on lifestyle * Perform two physical performance tests
The investigators will collect the following data:
* Anthropometric measurements * Body composition by bioelectrical impedance analysis. * Results of routine blood analyses * Irisin levels by drawing a vial of blood from the antecubital vein
