Type 2 diabetes is disease which interferes with the way the body uses sugar. Every cell in our body needs sugar to work normally and the insulin is the hormone that acts in the transfer of sugar into cells.
People with diabetes do not have enough insulin to supply the demand for all the cells in the body. Without the transfer of sugar into the cells, there is a increased sugar (glucose) concentration in the blood.
Excess glucose in the blood can cause complications in various organs. For this reason, Type 2 Diabetes is a chronic condition which requires constant monitoring and permanent treatment throughout life.
Most people with type 2 diabetes do not have any symptoms. People who have some symptom can feel:
- Need to urinate frequently;
- Feeling constant thirst;
- Visual blur.
O treatment of Type 2 Diabetes includes lifestyle change, some personal care measures and the use of medications.
