UnTouchableType 2 diabetes
In type 2 diabetes the body either does not make enough insulin or cannot use it properly, so the amount of sugar in the blood becomes too high. It is a long-term condition managed day to day, through some combination of food, movement, medicine and regular checks.
This is a plain summary, not medical advice, and it is not a substitute for talking to your GP or your clinical team. For NHS information about type 2 diabetes, speak to your GP or call NHS 111.
