Managing type 2 diabetes : Eat right; manage your
weight; be physically active; and don’t smoke.
Keep your blood sugar under control . It
can help reduce the risk of diabetes-related problems later.
Type 2 diabetes:
Body uses glucose as its main source of fuel
with the help of a hormone called insulin.
Insulin acts like a key to unlock the
body’s cells, so glucose can enter and serve as fuel for the cells.
So that most people’s bodies maintain
a normal amount of sugar in the bloodstream.
With type 2 diabetes ,you can’t maintain
normal sugar levels either because your body doesn’t make
enough insulin, or because the body can’t use its own natural
insulin properly.
