What is diabetes 2?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Diabetes 2: Diabetes 1 is a condition in which very little, if any, insulin is produced. Diabetes 2 is a condition in which the pancreas makes lots of insulin but not enough to keep your blood sugar under control. There are many articles on the internet about this. If you are very concerned please see you doctor.

Type 2 diabetes: Is the most common type of diabetes worldwide. It is directly related to obesity, and also runs in families. It is caused by the body becoming resistant to insulin as well as failure of the pancreas to keep up with the need to make more insulin. Diet, exercise, and weight loss are the cornerstone of treatment. There are dozens of medications available that also help treat the disorder.
