Myths
Diabetes eTraining Slide 4
Myth: Diabetes is not that serious of a disease.
Fact: Diabetes causes more deaths a year than breast cancer and AIDS combined. Two out of three people with diabetes die from heart disease or stroke.
Myth: If you are overweight or obese, you will eventually develop type 2 diabetes.
Type 2 Diabetes (Non-insulin dependent)
Diabetes eTraining Slide 7
Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes. In type 2 diabetes, either the body does not produce enough insulin or the cells ignore the insulin.
In Type 2 diabetes, either the pancreas is unable to make enough insulin or the body cells have become less responsive to insulin, a condition called insulin resistance.
With insulin resistance the body needs increasing amounts of insulin to control blood glucose. The pancreas tries to make more insulin, but sometimes cannot make enough.
