What is Type 2 diabetes? it is a lifelong disease that happens when the cells of the body can't use insulin correctly or when the pancreas can't make enough insulin. Insulin will let blood sugar—also called glucose, enter the body’s cells to be used for energy. When insulin is not able to do its job, the cells can't obtain the sugar they need, and too much sugar builds up in the blood. Over time, the extra sugar in the blood will possibly damage your eyes, heart, blood vessels, nerves, and kidneys.
Many adults and children are getting type 2 diabetes. This is likely because of bad eating habits and a lack of physical activity. It is imperative to know if you or your children are at risk for type 2 diabetes and to know what you can do to help stop the disease.
