Type 2 diabetes is a medical condition in which blood sugar or glucose builds up in the bloodstream because the body isn’t able to effectively use insulin to bring glucose into your cells. Pancreas is the organ that produces insulin. When the body doesn’t use insulin efficiently, the pancreas is forced to produce more insulin. As a result, pancreatic cells get damaged over time. Gradually it ceases production of insulin and glucose builds up in the bloodstream. Hence, type 2 diabetes is a chronic and lifelong condition that keeps your body from using insulin the way it should.
