People should be aware that Type 2 diabetes is caused when the body is not able to produce adequate insulin to break down glucose. This causes the blood sugar in the body to increase.
The good news is that Type 2 diabetes can be controlled by making important lifestyle changes especially concerning diet, regular exercise and weight management.
