2. What is Type 2 Diabetes
• Type 2 Diabetes is
the most prevalent
type of diabetes
affecting most
people in the world.
• This condition can be
termed as a
metabolic disorder
characterized by an
upsurge of glucose in
blood (blood sugar).
3. Signs and Symptoms of
Diabetic Person
Most individuals
experience thirst,
tiresomeness and lack
of energy, frequent
urinating, getting
hungry more
frequently as well as
getting infections that
do not heal easily.
4. • Type 2 diabetes is also likely to catch up with
individuals at the time when old age is creeping
in. It is feared that most people are more
predisposed to diabetes type2 after attaining 45
years of age. However, young people between 10
and 18 years of age have been diagnosed with
this type of diabetes in the recent past.
• Another factor that promotes the condition is
lack of exercise, which mostly affects the
working class who operate between the office
and the couch at home. Lastly, members of
some racial or ethnic groups such as Asians,
Polynesians and Maori are also at a greater risk.
