Type 2 diabetes is a chronic metabolic condition that is the result of the body’s inability to properly regulate its use of glucose (sugar) as a means of energy. The glucose that is prevalent in your blood is derived from the foods that you have consumed, acting as a primary energy source that carries you through your day-to-day life. Insulin, a hormone that is created and output by the pancreas (and the helpful friend of glucose), is responsible for aiding glucose with being absorbed into the cells of the body, and thus, providing you with energy.

There are several types of diabetes, but they all stem from the same condition, a pancreas that was damaged and will not convert sugars to energy anymore. If you believe that you have diabetic symptoms, you should go see a doctor to confirm or deny it, but either way, the information in this audiobook will help you understand type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, gestational diabetes, and the use of insulin. You will learn how to prevent, and often reverse, the condition once you have a better understanding of what is really going on at the molecular level.
