I have Type 2 diabetes and some of the symtoms are extreme thrist, tireness, and blurred vision. The cause is that the body does not make enough insulin I take 1000mg metaformin a day.

Type 2 diabetes is usually more common in people who are overweight and it just means that your pancreas isn't producing enough insulin for your body. Exercise can help to stop you from becoming diabetic if you're only borderline. Do regular gentle exercise every day and make sure you are eat a high-energy food before you exercise such as a banana. Mainly type 2 can be controlled with tablets and a strict diet, so if you're in danger of becoming diabetic, I suggest you research a diet that you are happy to live with. Other than that, it's generally genetic. Chances are if your parents have diabetes, you will too.
