What is type 2 diabetes?
Everyone’s blood has some glucose (sugar) in it. Your
body needs glucose for energy. Normally, your body
breaks food down into glucose and sends it into your
blood. Insulin, a hormone made by your pancreas, helps
glucose go from the blood into the cells so it can be used
for energy.
If you have type 2 diabetes, your body doesn't not use
insulin properly. This is called insulin resistance. At first,
your pancreas makes extra insulin to make up for it. But,
over time it isn't able to keep up and can't make enough
insulin to keep your blood glucose at normal levels.
