The pancreas produces a hormone called insulin. Insulin is what lets blood sugar into cells for energy. Over time when there is too much sugar introduced into the body the cells stop responding to insulin. In turn the pancreas starts to produce more insulin to get cell response. Eventually the pancreas wears itself out so blood sugar starts to rise and Type 2 diabetes is now in effect. Type 2 diabetes can have many effects on children\adolescents and the future of their health (high blood pressure, high cholesterol and P.O.S). Although this is a very bad disease it can be controlled by limiting sugar intake and
