Type 2 Diabetes<\/strong> is a condition in which the body’s ability to control and absorb sugar (glucose) as fuel is impaired. Too much sugar circulates in the bloodstream as a result of this long-term (chronic) disease. This type of diabetes is more common in people in their 40s and 50s. It was previously known as adult-onset diabetes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

High blood sugar levels can cause problems with the circulatory, neurological, and immunological systems.<\/span><\/p>\n

Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that functions as a key to allowing blood sugar into your body’s cells for energy use. Insulin resistance occurs when cells in patients with type 2 diabetes<\/strong> do not respond normally to insulin. <\/span><\/p>\n

To get cells to respond, your pancreas produces more insulin. When your pancreas can’t compete, your blood sugar levels rise, causing prediabetes and type 2 diabetes<\/strong> to develop.<\/span><\/p>\n

Prolonged uncontrolled Type 2 diabetes can result in chronically high blood glucose levels, which can cause a variety of symptoms as well as severe complications.<\/span><\/p>\n
