Key Stage 4
Meaning
Type 2 Diabetes is a non-communicable disease in which the blood sugar level cannot be controlled due to a poor diet.
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 (according to current science textbooks, however, this is not the case and it is in fact caused by a diet high in fats). The cells get used to the high levels of insulin and stop responding to it.
Treatments for Type 2 Diabetes
- 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.
