Type 2 diabetes is a lifelong condition which has no known cure, but there are a number of ways those with the condition can keep their blood sugar levels in check.
Following a healthy diet is one of the best ways to manage these levels. Rather than following a low-calorie weight loss diet, people with diabetes are encouraged to eat plenty of fats - but only certain kinds.
According to charity Diabetes UK, type 2 diabetes occurs when the body can not produce enough insulin, which means the sugar - or glucose - in your blood cannot break down.
