Non-insulin dependent diabetes, or Type 2 Diabetes, is characterized by body resistance to insulin produced by the pancreas, or reduced production of insulin by the pancreas, resulting in high blood sugar levels. Non-insulin dependent diabetes is primarily caused by obesity or not enough exercise in people who are genetically predisposed to this condition. Non-insulin dependent diabetic patients are at risk of severe hypoglycaemic and hyperglycaemic episodes if their condition is not properly managed, and this can result in a diabetic coma. Wearing a Non-Insulin Dependent Diabetes Alert Medial ID Wristband ensures that attending paramedics and other medical professionals are aware of your condition, and therefore include or exclude symptoms to do with your condition, allowing them to accurately and precisely assess and diagnose the situation, and provide you with the best and most appropriate treatment.
