Type 2 is the most common form of diabetes, affecting 85-90% of all people with diabetes. While it usually affects older adults, more and more younger people, even children, are getting type 2 diabetes. In type 2 diabetes, the pancreas makes some insulin but it is not produced in the amount your body needs and it does not work effectively. Type 2 diabetes often goes unrecognised and undiagnosed and there is currently no cure. This book gives the basic information needed to understand what type 2 diabetes is, how to recognise it and, most essentially, how to manage it, including details on the symptoms and risk factors of type 2 diabetes; the various medicinal treatments and support available; and how to reduce risks and improve quality of life by changes to daily routines, diet, exercise and attitude. AUTHOR: Dr Keith Souter is an established medical writer and Fellow of the Royal College of General Practitioners. He is the author of '50 Things You Can Do Today to Manage Back Pain', 'Understanding and Dealing with Stroke', 'Understanding and Dealing with Depression' and 'Understanding and Dealing with Heart Disease'.
