Type 2 Diabetes

About 29 million people in the U.S live with Type 2 diabetes, making it the most common type of diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is caused by insulin resistance, which means cells don’t respond normally to insulin. Symptoms develop over several years, making it harder to notice. It is vital to get your blood sugar tested, if you have any risk factors.
