Type 2 diabetes is a lifelong disease that happens when the cells of the body can't use insulin the right way or when the pancreas can't make enough insulin. Insulin lets blood sugar—also called glucose—enter the body’s cells to be used for energy. When insulin is not able to do its job, the cells can't get the sugar they need, and too much sugar builds up in the blood. Over time, this extra sugar in the blood can damage your eyes, heart, blood vessels, nerves, and kidneys.
More and more adults and children are getting type 2 diabetes. This is largely because of bad eating habits and a lack of physical activity.

What is niacin, and where is it found?
Niacin is a B vitamin — vitamin B-3 to be precise — that is used by your body to convert carbohydrates into sugar (glucose), which your body then uses for energy. Niacin also helps keep your nervous system, digestive system, skin, hair and eyes healthy.
