About Type 2 Diabetes
- Type 2 diabetes happens when the cells become resistant to insulin. This means they cannot take glucose out of the blood leading to a dangerously high concentration of glucose in the blood.
- Type 2 diabetes is usually caused by a diet too high in sugar. The cells get used to the high levels of insulin and stop responding to it.
