Frequently asked question: When do you get diabetes Type 2 ?

You develop diabetes Type 2 when your body is no longer sensitive to insulin and your beta cells are producing less insulin than what is necessary. Because of this, your body’s cells will find it more difficult to absorb the glucose and your blood sugar level rises. You need to pee a lot and you are often thirsty, just like with diabetes Type 1. However, although it will be more difficult, there is still enough glucose to enter the body’s cells. That means that cells will still get enough energy, and do not need to get energy from alternative sources. Because of this, symptoms like weight loss

Diabetes Type 2 also occurs at all ages, but it is most common in the elderly and in overweight people who exercise too little. Because more and more children are overweight, this form of diabetes is now becoming more common at a younger age.
