Diabetes, Type II

Chronic (lifelong) condition where the pancreas makes too little insulin (hormone needed to convert sugar, starches and other food into energy) or the body cannot use the insulin well enough (called insulin resistance). When there isn't enough insulin or the insulin isn't used as it should be, glucose (sugar) can't get into the body's cells to maintain a normal glucose level. Glucose builds up in the blood instead of going into cells, and the cells are not able to function properly.

Symptoms

Bladder/skin/kidney infections that won't heal, fatigue, hunger, obesity, increased thirst and urination, blurred vision, erectile dysfunction, pain/numbness in feet and hands
