Despite the fact that statistics suggest otherwise, Type 2 diabetes can be managed with insulin or oral medication, exercise, diet and changes to lifestyle.
180 million people plus suffer from diabetes across the world according to World Health organisation (WHO) figures, with approximately 1.1 million people dying of the disease in 2005.
Diabetes is a greater cause of death than AIDS and breast cancer combined.
Type 2 diabetes is a condition in which the body does not produce enough insulin or the cells do not react to the insulin but it can be prevented.
This disease is easily managed with oral medication or insulin shots as well as deliberate changes in diet and lifestyle.
A key clinical research study, known as the National Diabetes Prevention Program, uncovered that those who have higher blood glucose levels than normal and are at risk of developing Type 2 diabetes still have a 58 percent chance of not getting diabetes by ensuring weight loss and improving their diet and exercise
