Diabetes can be a lifelong condition that causes a person’s blood sugar level to become too high. People with type 2 diabetes can reverse the condition by eating healthily, exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy weight and carrying out regular blood tests to ensure their blood glucose levels stay balanced.
There are two main types of diabetes:
• type 1 diabetes – where the body’s immune system attacks and destroys the cells that produce insulin
• type 2 diabetes – where the body doesn’t produce enough insulin, or the body’s cells don’t react to insulin
