what is type 2 diabetes?!

Type 2 diabetes is caused by insulin-resistance. Insulin resistance is most commonly caused by being overweight. Excess fat cells become less sensitive to the effects of insulin, a hormone that your pancreas produces which allows the blood sugar to pass into the muscle and fat cells of your body to be stored for suture use as fuel to be burned for energy. As the fat cells get larger, they become less sensitive to the insulin, so your pancreas has to make more and more insulin just to keep up. Eventually, your body's need for insulin exceeds your pancreas's ability to produce insulin, and your blood sugar levels start to go up. This leads to problems with the way your body handles fats in the bloodstream as well, such as cholesterol and triglycerides. These levels also go up, and can cause cholesterol buil-up in the walls of your arteries, which can lead to heart attacks, strokes, blindness, kidney failure, and blockages in the arteries in your legs which can lead to gangrene.
Type 2 diabetes in the early stages can be effectively treated and even cured by diet, exercise and weight loss. Oral medications can be used, some of which stimulate the pancreas to produce even more insulin, while others make your fat and muscle cells more sensitive to insulin. Eventually, even the oral medications will no longer be able to stimulate your pancreas to produce enough insulin, and you will require insulin injections to keep your blood sugar under control.
Diabetes can also lead to high blood pressure, which accelerates the damage to the lining of your arteries. When treating diabetes, it is very important to focus not only on getting the blood sugar levels down, but also on maintaining a healthy blood pressure and healthy levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in your blood.

There are two types of diabetes. Type 1 is inherited. Type 2 is not inherited, but often self inflicted through diet or lack of exercise. Both types can be diet controlled or insulin dependent depending on severity.
