Type 2 diabetes is caused by two main metabolic problems: one of those problems is that the body is not making enough insulin (the hormone that controls blood sugar.) The other metabolic problem is that the body is not responding to insulin very well Ð itÕs called insulin resistance. Even when insulin is present, the body just doesnÕt react very well.
