If you have Type 2 diabetes, your body’s cells can’t properly take up sugar (glucose) from the foods you eat. If left untreated, Type 2 diabetes can cause such health problems as heart disease, kidney disease and stroke. You can manage this disease by making lifestyle changes, taking medications and/or insulin and seeing your provider for regular check-ins. Global Diabetes Initiatives offered to give out free medication and proper awareness on the effect of untreated Type 2 Diabetes for the people in Bali Nyonga, Cameroon.
