Millions of adults in America are at high risk for type two diabetes. With action, prevention is very possible. A chronic condition that affects the way that the body processes blood sugar is possible to cure.

The pancreas may make a surplus of insulin in the beginning but over time it begins to wear down and isn’t able to keep up.

In type two the body does not use insulin properly, this is called insulin resistance.

Some people can control it while others can’t, but it may get worse over time and usually after a long period of time, people may have to take medication prescribed by a doctor.

Type two diabetes can be treated with lifestyle changes, oral medications, and in some cases insulin injections. When blood builds up it can cause two problems. Right away cells might be starved of insulin and over time high blood sugar levels may hurt your eyes, kidneys, nerves, and heart.

Some groups of people may have a higher risk of type two, such as African Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, and Asian Americans, Pacific Islanders as well as older people.

Symptoms include increased thirst, frequent urination, hunger, fatigue, and blurred vision. And in some cases, they may not be symptoms.
