Collaborative Post¦ Type 2 diabetes (T2) is becoming more and more of a concern nowadays as many are developing it. As it is becoming common, this means that more people now have to learn to live with a life-changing condition. That can be tough, especially when it happens later on in life.
T2 diabetes is a condition whereby the pancreas, a part of the body, doesn’t produce working insulin. This is usually because a fatty, sugary diet has been consumed over time, so the pancreas has forgotten how to create good insulin as it usually relies on the glucose in fatty, sugary foods.
Unfortunately, it’s not ideal to have a fatty, sugary diet as it can cause a whole range of health conditions. However, now the body has become used to a poor diet. When the body breaks down carbohydrates for energy, it will crave more sugar as that’s what it’s used to.
As a result of the body not making good insulin but needing it, blood sugar levels are often all over the place, and the body gets confused. Thankfully, it is a manageable condition, but there are a few steps to doing so.
