Can you answer alice in wonderland’s question about Diabetes?:

ok if any body wants, PLEASE can they change this paragraph into their own words for me =D

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (known as type 2 diabetes for short) is a metabolic disorder in which either the pancreas doesn’t make enough insulin or the cells of the body become resistant to insulin. Your body needs insulin to regulate the levels of sugar (glucose) in your bloodstream.

Type 2 diabetes often goes hand in hand with obesity, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. It used to be known as adult-onset diabetes or non-insulin-dependent diabetes. These terms aren’t used any more, because type 2 diabetes is increasingly affecting younger people and some people with type 2 diabetes have to use insulin.

Thanks

    Diabetes Feedback: Type 2 diabetes is usually a genetic disease. It can often start as being insulin resistant. This means that the pancreas is making a lot of insulin, but the body is not using it correctly. Later in life, the pancreas may become tired and weak from being over worked, and now is not making enough insulin. When a person is insulin resistant, some of them may learn to control the disease with a good diet and exercise. However, most of us must take oral medictions, or insulin, and sometimes both. Type 2 diabetics are not always overweight. In fact, 51% of type 2’s are not or ever have been overweight. Type 2 can cause some weight gain in the beginning months when it first develops, but most of the time it causes weight loss, sometimes severe. Many do not have high blood pressure or high cholesterol. No one knows the cause of type 2 diabetes for sure, but many times it is passed down from generation to generation. It has been in my family for the past 6 generations, and it does not “skip” a generation as some people think. But on the other hand, just because a person has a high risk factor for the disease, it does not mean they will develop it. There is absolutely no prevention for type 2 diabetes, although, a healthy diet and daily exercise can delay the development of it, but can not prevent it.
