Causes and Symptoms of Type 2 Diabetes

Type 2 diabetes is a disease which is caused by several factors such as metabolic disorders, disorders of the pancreas, impaired insulin secretion, cell resistance to insulin and several other factors. In the past diabetes is a hereditary disease, but along with the development level of human life with diabetes is no longer just a hereditary disease but caused more lifestyle and one's diet.

Unlike Type I diabetes, in which there is little or no insulin is produced by pancreatic beta cells, in patients with type II diabetes there is a lot of insulin. The problem lies in the fact that the body's cells no longer respond to insulin. Normal response in the cell membrane causes the gate to open and allow the sugar to flow into the blood. Since this does not occur, blood sugar levels remain very high and the cells lose the energy needed.

Diabetic symptoms they generally experience changes in body or behavior changes that are not as usual, and frequent changes such as:
1. Frequent thirst
2. Frequent urination
3. Dry mouth and cause an unpleasant smell
4. Impaired vision or blurred vision
5. Body fatigue or easily tired
But some people do not experience these symptoms and go undetected for years, if not treated and untreated type 2 diabetes may eventually lower the quality of life and endanger the lives of patients.
