Most of the people might have heard diabetes and high glucose levels referred together.

And this glucose is used as energy for our regular activities.

Where as in type 2diabetes, cells in children’s body do not respond properly to the insulin produced which leads to rise in glucose levels. This condition of cells not responding to the insulin is treated as insulin resistance. When glucose levels in body increases it may also lead to several diseases like heart diseases, blindness and also kidney disorders.
