Type 2 Diabetes is becoming more and more common worldwide. This is an incurable condition in which there is too much sugar present in the blood, which ultimately overloads the insulin-manufacturing cells in the pancreas.

Type 2 Diabetes can be caused by a number of factors, but the growing incidence of it, particularly among young people, is leading doctors to point to two key causes - poor diet, and excess weight. For those who are overweight, eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly could thus not only help them shed the pounds, but also avoid this serious condition.
