Reducing your risk of type 2 diabetes
This resource explains that Type 2 diabetes happens when there is too much sugar (glucose) in the blood for a long time. This can cause problems for the heart, eyes, and other parts of the body. People from South Asian communities have a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes but the risk can be reduced. Small changes in your lifestyle can make a big difference.
