Type 2 diabetes is more common in adults, but the number of children and young people with type 2 diabetes is growing. Eating healthy foods, in the right amounts, and being physically active can help people lower their blood sugar. Most people with type 2 diabetes take diabetes pills and many also take insulin.

 

Diabetes cannot be cured, but you can control it! People who control their blood sugar levels can lead full and happy lives- just like everyone else.
