	Diabetes mellitus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Type 2 may go unnoticed for years in a patient before diagnosis, since the symptoms are typically milder (no ketoacidosis) and can be sporadic.
		Diabetes is often detected when a person suffers a problem frequently caused by diabetes, such as a heart attack, stroke, neuropathy, poor wound healing or a foot ulcer, certain eye problems, certain fungal infections, or delivering a baby with macrosomia or hypoglycemia.
		Type 2 Diabetes is more complex and difficult but if to the extent it is regarded as an excursion of the organism from the control envelope of the metabolic functions around Glucose metabolism, correcting body mass to reverse that excursion approaches a cure.

	Lifetimetv.com: Strong Medicine - Fact Sheet : Diabetes
		Diabetes is a chronic disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas needed to convert sugar, starches and other food into the energy needed for daily life.
		Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the pancreas is damaged, resulting from the body's failure to produce insulin, most often occurring in children and young adults.
		Type 2 diabetes is nearing epidemic proportions in this country due to an increased number of older Americans and a greater prevalence of obesity and sedentary lifestyles.

	Type 2 diabetes - MayoClinic.com
		Type 2 diabetes, once known as adult-onset or noninsulin-dependent diabetes, is a chronic condition that affects the way your body metabolizes sugar (glucose), your body's main source of fuel.
		Type 2 diabetes is often preventable, but the condition is on the rise — fueled largely by the current obesity epidemic.
		When you have type 2 diabetes, your body is resistant to the effects of insulin — a hormone that regulates the absorption of sugar into your cells — or your body produces some, but not enough, insulin to maintain a normal glucose level.

	Diabetes, type 2 definition - Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, Type 1, and Metabolic Disorders treatment and medications
		Diabetes, type 2: One of the two major types of diabetes, the type in which the beta cells of the pancreas produce insulin but the body is unable to use it effectively because the cells of the body are resistant to the action of insulin.
		Although this type of diabetes may not carry the same risk of death from ketoacidosis, it otherwise involves many of the same risks of complications as does type 1 diabetes (in which there is a lack of insulin).
		Type 2 diabetes is also known as insulin-resistant diabetes, non-insulin dependent diabetes, and adult-onset diabetes.

	Type 2 Diabetes
		Diabetes is a disease that causes an abnormally high level of sugar, or glucose, to build up in the blood.
		In type 2 diabetes -- previously called noninsulin dependent or adult-onset diabetes -- glucose levels rise because the body is resistant to the effects of insulin and the amount insulin produced by the body is insufficient to overcome this resistance.
		Type 2 diabetes is usually diagnosed in adults over age 40 but can develop in younger people and children.

		Those with Type 2 diabetes are actually a small part of a larger group that has metabolic syndome or Syndrome X, which was first recognized in the early 1990's.
		Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body can no longer produce enough insulin to overcome the resistance and keep up with the body's increased need for insulin.
