The Simple Explanation There are three primary causes of DiabetesType2: · The genes you inherited (It is an event in the past and there is nothing you can do about it) · A long-term diet that has been high in carbohydrates (uncontrolled release of glucose into the blood) and · Nutritional deficiencies (caused by excess release of insulin into the blood) The best way to manage your diabetic condition is to address the actual cause. Doesn't that make more sense?
