Type 2 diabetes

Published: 5/30/2014

Type 2 diabetes is a disease. It can cause heart problems, stroke, blindness and other health problems. People of all ages can get Type 2 diabetes, even young children.

You may be at risk for Type 2 diabetes if:

you are overweight
you smoke
you have high blood pressure
you are not active
you have high cholesterol
you eat poorly

If you have Type 2 diabetes, you can stop this disease from getting worse. If you do not have diabetes, you can prevent it. That is why it is important for every person in your family to make good food choices and to be active.
Talk to your Parkland primary care doctor if you have questions about diabetes. Your doctor may refer you to Parkland’s Diabetes Clinic or Nutrition Counseling Center to speak with a registered dietitian. Learn more about diabetes at www.diabetes.org.
