Diabetes eTraining Slide 7
Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes. In type 2 diabetes, either the body does not produce enough insulin or the cells ignore the insulin.
In Type 2 diabetes, either the pancreas is unable to make enough insulin or the body cells have become less responsive to insulin, a condition called insulin resistance.
With insulin resistance the body needs increasing amounts of insulin to control blood glucose. The pancreas tries to make more insulin, but sometimes cannot make enough.
