Diabetes is a medical condition in which blood glucose levels are above normal. Insulin is the hormone which controls sugar levels in the blood.

Middle-aged or older individuals are most likely to suffer from type 2 diabetes, hence it is also known as adult-onset diabetes. Type 2 diabetes symptoms include lack of energy, tiredness, frequent urination, excess thirst, dry mouth, blurry vision, constant hunger, weight loss, and itchy skin.
