As we all know, insulin is a fat producing hormone. Type 2's many times produce lots of insulin....more than the average person. Over the years this could produce a lot of fat.
That's pretty much my take on the question (of course, I'm a T2 ) with the additional factor that body fat increases insulin resistance, so creates a self-feeding cycle.
