What is Type-2 Diabetes?
Type-2Diabetes is a metabolic problem characterized by high blood sugar (glucose) levels that result from defects in insulin secretion.
We don’t want to call type-2 Diabetes a disease, because it actually is a symptom of Insulin dysfunction.
Diabetes mellitus, commonly referred to as diabetes was first identified as a problem associated with "sweet urine," and excessive muscle loss in the ancient world.
Main Cause of Type-2 Diabetes (Insulin Resistance Diabetes)
-
Poor Insulin Management is the major cause of type-2 Diabetes. Because of our high consumption of carbohydrates, the pancreas releases too much insulin over a long period of time, bathing the cells with insulin.
-
Inactivity is the other cause of type-2 Diabetes.
The cells then become resistant to insulin which causes blood glucose levels, as well as insulin levels, to rise.

Normally, blood glucose levels are tightly controlled by insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas. Insulin lowers the blood glucose level.
When the blood glucose elevates (for example, after eating food), insulin is released from the pancreas to normalize the glucose level.
