What is Type 2 Diabetes?
Type 2 diabetes is a condition where the body is insulin deficient or
has a resistance to the action of insulin.

Type 2 diabetes is sometimes called a “life style” disease as it
more common in people who don’t do enough exercise, have an unhealthy diet and
that are overweight or obese.
Type two diabetes is also strongly linked with high blood pressure,
high cholesterol and an “apple” body shape (where excess weight is carried
around waist).
Type 2 Diabetes was previously seen mainly in older adults, however it
is becoming more common in young children due to an increase of obese and
overweight children.
The causes of type two diabetes are known and in most cases preventable.
However type 2 diabetes is incurable.

There are both preventable and non preventable risk factors for type 2
diabetes.
Some of the preventable factors include:
•
Type of diet
•
Amount of
exercise
•
Cholesterol
levels
•
Smoking
•
Blood pressure

Some of the non-preventable risk factors include:
•
Family history
•
Increasing age
•
Being a
particular culture (e.g. Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander)
