Green leafy veggies like kale can be beneficial for people with type 2 diabetes, a new study has found. Type 2 diabetes is a more common form of diabetes. Diabetes is a condition which causes your blood glucose or sugar levels to rise higher than normal. In case of type 2 diabetes, the body is unable to produce insulin properly - a condition known as insulin resistance. Initially, your pancreas may make extra insulin to make up for the insulin, but over time, it is unable to make enough insulin to keep your blood glucose at normal levels. Type 2 diabetes can trigger symptoms like more frequent trips to the toilet, feeling constantly thirsty, extreme tiredness and other chronic complications in eyes, feet, nerves and heart. Consuming a healthy diet is one of the best ways to manage your blood sugar levels.
