Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes. In type 2 diabates,normally it is cause either by the body does not produce enough insulin or the cells ignore the insulin. Insulin is important for our body to be able to use glucose for energy. When you eating, the body breaks down all of the sugars and starches into glucose, which will be use as a 'fuel' for the cells in the body. Insulin takes the sugar from the blood into the cells. When glucose builds up in the blood instead of going into cells, it can cause two problems:
- Right away, your cells may be starved for energy.
- Over time, high blood glucose levels may hurt your eyes, kidneys, nerves or heart.
If you had found out you have diabetes type 2,don't be panic.Eventhough Type 2 diabetes is serious, but people with diabetes can live long, healthy, happy lives.
While diabetes occurs in people of all ages and races, some groups have a higher risk for developing type 2 diabetes than others. Type 2 diabetes is more common in African Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, and Asian Americans/Pacific Islanders, as well as the aged population.
