Type 2 diabetes is easily the most common form of diabetes. An incredible number of Americans have already been diagnosed with diabetes type 2 symptoms, and more are unconscious they are at high risk. Some groups have a higher risk for developing type 2 diabetes than others. Diabetes type 2 is much more common in African Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, and Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders, as well as the aged people.   In type 2 diabetes, either our body isn't going to produce enough insulin or the cells ignore the insulin. Insulin is critical for your body to be able to use glucose for energy. Once you eat food, your body breaks down the sugars and starches into glucose, that is certainly the basic fuel for any cells in your body. Insulin takes the sugar from your blood in the cells. When glucose accumulates in the blood rather than going into cells, it can lead to diabetes complications. You may have the power to increase and protect your wellbeing. With proper nutrition and physical activity and making good life-style choices (like not smoking), you are able to feel better, stronger, and healthier, and can decrease your risk of diseases like the cancer, diabetes, heart disease and stroke.
