Benefits of Low Glycemic Index Foods for People With Type 2 Diabetes

Type 2 diabetes is a progressive condition in which the body becomes resistant to the normal effects of insulin and/or gradually loses the capacity to produce enough insulin in the pancreas. It used to be called adult onset diabetes, but sadly, because children are now developing the disease, the name was changed to type 2.
