People develop type 2 diabetes because the cells in the muscles, liver, and fat do not use insulin properly. Eventually, the pancreas cannot make enough insulin for the body’s needs to keep blood glucose levels normal.
We can also say that Type 2 diabetes is the disease when the body does not produce enough insulin or the body cells (Fat cell and Body Muscle) ignore the insulin. , so make trouble delivery of sugar to body cell.
Is It Affected Other Body Parts?
Yes, When you eat food, the body breaks down all of the sugars and starches into glucose, which is the basic fuel for the cells in the body. Insulin takes the sugar from the blood into the cells. When glucose builds up in the blood instead of going into cells, it can cause two problems:
- Right away, your cells may be starved for energy. You always feel hungry and soon overweight.80-90 % of patient with Type II Diabetes becomes Obesity.
- Over the years, high blood glucose levels damages nerves and blood vessels, leading to complications such as heart disease, stroke, blindness, kidney disease, nerve problems, gum infections, and amputation.
Although it is a serious condition. Many people with type 2 diabetes do not know they have it, that is why Diabetes also call"The Silent Killer" .
Finding out you have diabetes is scary. But don't panic. Type 2 diabetes is serious, but people with diabetes can live long, healthy, happy lives.
While diabetes occurs in people of all ages and races, some groups have a higher risk for developing type 2 diabetes than others.
Type 2 diabetes is more common in African Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, and Asian Americans/Pacific Islanders, as well as the aged population.
