    Type 2 diabetes is caused by pancreatic insulin deficiency or malfunction, resulting in high blood sugar levels. Common symptoms include increased thirst, urination, hunger and fatigue. Prevention focuses on a healthy diet, maintaining a healthy weight, managing sugar intake, and regular exercise. Treatment generally involves restricted food intake, exercise, and oral medications to reduce blood sugar such as sulfonylureas, meglitinides, and metformin. People experiencing symptoms of undiagnosed high blood sugar like fruity breath, nausea, dry mouth or confusion should seek medical help.
