4 FAST FACTS ABOUT TYPE 2 DIABETES

  1. Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a chronic condition that affects the way your body processes glucose (a type of sugar) in your blood.
  2. Insulin is a hormone that helps your body use sugar for the energy it needs and then stores the rest. Your pancreas makes insulin and releases it into your bloodstream.
  3. Insulin resistance occurs when your body (specifically muscle, fat and liver) stops responding to insulin and too much glucose remains in the blood causing high blood sugar.
  4. T2D is reversible with functional medicine.
