Type 2 Diabetes is a non-communicable disease in which the blood sugar level cannot be controlled due to a poor diet.

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.

Carefully controlling the diet and eating sugar is very small quantities can help reduce the symptoms.

Losing weight can also reduce the symptoms.

Regular exercise can help encourage the cells to take glucose out of the blood.
