New study finds vitamin deficiency that could raise your risk of type 2 diabetes – Express

Diabetes is a life-altering condition that affects around four million people in the UK.

Both type 1 and type 2 cause blood sugar levels to become too high, but for different reasons.

In type 1 patients the body’s immune system attacks and destroys the cells that produce insulin.

Whereas, type 2 diabetes occurs either when the body does not produce enough insulin, or the body’s cells do not react to insulin properly.
