What Is Type 2 Diabetes?
After the digestive system breaks down carbohydrates into glucose, the pancreatic system creates a hormone called insulin. Insulin is supposed to take glucose from the cells and blood vessels of the body to be used as energy. When the cells in the body gets resistant to the effects of insulin, glucose can build up to a high level in the bloodstream. Eventually the high blood sugar can then lead to other diabetic complications such as kidney failure and blindness.
