Type 2 Diabetes

Type 2 diabetes develops mainly because of two separate problems: the first is that the pancreas does not make enough insulin, and the second is that there is insulin resistance (this mean that insulin does not work very well). If you are overweight or obese, losing weight is the most important thing you can do to improve clinical outcomes and your quality of life. A nutritional intervention may involve dietary counselling and nutritional support which will help you identify the changes in lifestyle, diet and physical activity you can make and set realistic and achievable goals which will be maintained in the long term.
