===About Type 2 Diabetes===
: '''Type 2 diabetes''' happens when the [[Cell (Biology)|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 [[Cell (Biology)|cells]] get used to the high levels of [[insulin]] and stop responding to it.
