Type II

Did you know??

Type 2 diabetes is a common and increasingly prevalent illness that is largely preventable. In adults, type 2 diabetes accounts for about 90 to 95 percent of all diagnosed cases of diabetes; the remainder are adult-onset (or adult-diagnosed) type 1 diabetes, a form of diabetes for which the cause is unknown.

Cases of diagnosed diabetes cost the United States an estimated $245 billion in 2012, a figure that is expected to rise with the increasing number of diagnosed individuals.
