Type 2 diabetes is caused by an inadequate secretion of insulin and especially resistance to insulin, a hormone whose function is to regulate the amount of sugar circulating in the blood (glucose). Thus, gradually moved hyperglycemia. The disease develops gradually imposing treatment increasingly aggressive because diabetes is the cause of vascular complications (arterial disease, heart attack, stroke).
If there are very effective medications to correct Hyperglycemia, care always starts with the physical activity and weight loss.
