Type 2 diabetes is by far the most
common form (around 90% of all cases) and the one which is increasing the most.
It primarily affects overweight people in middle age or later. It’s not
uncommon for the affected person to also have a high blood pressure and an abnormal
lipid profile. Gestational diabetes is a temporary special case of type 2
diabetes. In type 2 diabetes the body has an increasingly harder time to handle
all the sugar in the blood. Large amounts of the blood sugar-lowering hormone
insulin are produced, but it’s still not enough, as insulin sensitivity
decreases. At the time of being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, diabetics
usually have ten times more insulin in their bodies than normal.
