Type 2 diabetes is when your body resists the effects of insulin and doesn't accept it. It makes up almost 85% of the diabetic cases in the United States. Type 2 is the diabetes that commonly affects men and women over the age of 35 and is associated with heart disease and being overweight. This type of diabetes can be prevented with a healthy lifestyle and good eating and excercising habits.
Because your body resists the effects of insulin, your insulin levels are normal, but your glucose levels remain high. You have to watch what you eat and make sure you pay attention to the nutritional labels on foods. Type 2 diabetics really need to make sure they maintain an active lifestyle and excercise daily. One of the reasons that caused the diabetes is your lack of exercise and poor diet. The "Eating Habits" page will go over more of the foods you want to eat and the foods you want to avoid.
