Type 2 Diabetes

  • The pancreas makes some insulin, but either it is not enough or the cells do not use it correctly.
  • Some people with type 2 diabetes can control their blood sugar level with proper diet and exercise. Others will need insulin and/or diabetes pills, along with proper diet and exercise.
