Type 2 Diabetes

clipped from www.squidoo.com
Type 2 diabetes is becoming more common every year in Western societies. There
are many factors for this ranging from diet, lack of exercise and genetics. With
the help of your doctor and nutritionists, it can be a manageable
disease.<BR><BR>In type 2 diabetes, either the pancreas does not make enough
insulin, or the cells become resistant to insulin. Insulin takes sugar in the
form of glucose, which is the main source of cellular energy, into the cells. If
diabetes is untreated blood sugar levels get too high. This both starves the
cells of energy, as well as damage eyes, kidneys, nerves and cardiovascular
system.<BR><BR>While some who have type 2 diabetes experience no noticeable
symptoms, others suffer from some of the most common symptoms of type 2 diabetes
which are increased thirst, increased urination, fatigue, increased appetite,
blurry vision, slow healing wounds and erectile dysfunction in men.<BR>
