In type 2 diabetes, either the body does not produce enough insulin or the cells ignore the insulin. Usually occurs gradually. Most people with type 2 diabetes are overweight at the time of diagnosis. However, the disease can also develop in lean people, especially the elderly. Genetics play a large role in type 2 diabetes and family history is a risk factor. However, low activity level, poor diet, and excess body weight (especially around the waist) significantly increase your risk for type 2 diabetes. Other risk factors include: - Race/ethnicity (African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, and Native Americans all have high rates of diabetes) - Age greater than 45 years - Previously identified impaired glucose tolerance by your doctor - High blood pressure - HDL cholesterol of less than 35 or triglyceride level of greater than 250 - History of gestational diabetes<br><b>References : </b><br>http://diabetes.org/home.jsp http://www.umm.edu/ency/article/000313.htm Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes.

Type 2 is present in about 90 percent to 95 percent of people with diabetes, which results when their pancreas produce too little insulin to control glucose, or sugar, in the blood. Patients with type 1 diabetes produce little or no insulin. Unfortunately, it can take years before more than half of people with type 2 diabetes first become aware they have the disease. Often, they first learn they have diabetes when they develop a major complication, such as kidney disease, heart attack or stroke.<br><b>References : </b><br> Type 2 diabetes is caused by the combination of a deficiency of insulin, a hormone secreted by the pancreas, and a resistance to its actions.
