Type-2 Diabetes

Since I posted type-1 diabetes, I might as well post type-2. This type of diabetes is called Non-Insulin Dependent. My mother belongs to this category.

• Occurs in 90% of diabetes cases

• Occurs mainly in adults, particularly in overweight and inactive persons

• Insulin is produced but body cells resist its action and glucose cannot enter cells

• Usually treated with diet and exercise. Sometimes requires medication (tablets or insulin injections).

Warning Signals:

• Any type-1 symptom

• Blurred vision

• Excessive itching

• Skin infection with slow healing

• Tingling/ numbness in feet

If you have any of these feelings, it's time to do something with your diet and or your lifestyle. I am trying my best to do what i can to avoid this.
